FIND THE MODE AND INTERPRET IT.

1. The following table shows the frequency of errors committed by 10 typists

per minute.

TYPISTS A B C D E F G H I J
NO OF 5 3 3 7 28 8 8 4 7 10
ERRORS
PER MIN

Answer:

TYPISTS A B C D E F G H I J
NO OF 3 3 4 5 7 7 8 8 10 28
ERRORS
PER MIN

MODE: 7 & 8
INTERPRET:
If there are two numbers that appear most often (and the same number of
times) then the data has two modes. This is called bimodal.

2. A random sample of 8 mango trees reveals the following number of fruits they
yield

Mango A B C D E F G H
Tree
No. of 80 70 80 90 82 82 90 82
Fruits

Mango A B C D E F G H
Tree
No. of 70 80 80 82 82 82 90 90
Fruits

MODE: 82’S
90’S
80’S
INTERPRET:
So even if a number appears twice. If it appears the most it's going to be
the mode if more than one number appears twice you're going to have multiple
modes.
3. The following are the scores of 9 students in a Mathematics quiz: 12, 15,
12, 6, 7, 15, 19, 24, 13

6 7 12 12 13 15 15 19 24

MODE: 15

INTERPRET:

The mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a set of observations
