1. What is the mode of 250, 255, 395, and 400 set of data? 2. Given the set of data 280, 240, 240, 290, 260, 220, and 290, what is the mode? Identify the type of mode. 3. The data below are the Body Mass Indexes of 10 learners: 19.1, 19.6, 20.4, 29.1, 19.6, 25.4, 21.5, 22.8, 23.5, and 19.6. Determine the mode and its type. 4. The heights (in cm) of the 10 runners are 160, 140, 139, 150, 153, 145, 139, 150, 166 and 160. What is the mode and its type? 5. The data sets 23, 33, 35, 36, 35, 89, 35, 93, and 77 are said to have a mode of 35. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Justify your answer.

Answer (1)

To determine the mode of a set of data, you need to identify the number that appears most frequently.

Data Set: 250, 255, 395, 400

In this data set, each number occurs only once.
Therefore, there is no mode since no number repeats.


Data Set: 280, 240, 240, 290, 260, 220, 290

Here, both 240 and 290 appear twice.
This set is bimodal because it has two modes: 240 and 290.


Data Set: 19.1, 19.6, 20.4, 29.1, 19.6, 25.4, 21.5, 22.8, 23.5, 19.6

The number 19.6 appears three times, more frequently than any other number.
Therefore, the mode is 19.6, and the set is unimodal.


Data Set: 160, 140, 139, 150, 153, 145, 139, 150, 166, 160

Both 139, 150, and 160 appear twice.
This set is multimodal with modes: 139, 150, and 160.


Data Set: 23, 33, 35, 36, 35, 89, 35, 93, 77

The number 35 appears three times, more than any other number.
Thus, the statement that the mode of this data set is 35 is correct.
The set is unimodal with the mode 35.
