Given:
The data set is:
87, 84, 85, 85, 86, 90, 79, 82, 78, 76
To find:
The mode of the given data set.
Solution:
We have,
87, 84, 85, 85, 86, 90, 79, 82, 78, 76
Arrange the data values in the ascending order.
76, 78, 79, 82, 84, 85, 85, 86, 87, 90
We know that the mode of date set is the most frequency value of the data set.
From the above data set it is clear that the number 85 has the highest frequency 2.
Therefore, the mode of the data set is 85.
