Example: The mode of 4, 2, 4,3, 2, 2is 2 times, which is more than any other number. EXAMpLes Let us learn here how to find the mode of a given data with the help of Example 1: Find the mode.of the given data set: 3, 3, 6, 9, 15, 15, 15, 27, 27, 37, 4g, Solution: In the following list of numbers, 3,3, 6,9, 15, 15, 15, 27, 27, 37, 48 15is the mode since it is appearing more number of times in the set compared toother numbers. Example 2: Find the mode of 4, 4,4, 9,15, 15, 15, 27, 37, 48 data set. Solution: 44/4,9,15, 15, 15, 27, 37, 48 is the data set. As we know, a data set or set of values can have more than one mode if more than One value occurs with equal frequency and number of time compared to the other values in the set. Hence, here both the number 4 and 15 are modes of the set, Example 3: Find the mode of 3, 6,9, 16, 27, 37, 48, Solution: _ nevalue or number ina data set appears more than once, then the set has no mode. : Hence, for set 3,6, 9, 16,27, 37, 48, there is no mode available.General Maths & Ability _ PRACTICE EXERCISE + The test scores of 9 students are 82, 92, 75, 91, 92, 89, 95, 100, 86.

Often Average refers to the Arithr Mean, the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers are being averaged, ‘AVERAGE FORMULA IN MATHS F ‘The formula that will tell you how to calculate the average of a list of numbers values is very simple in Mathematics. Here are the steps that will tell you how to calculate the average: Step 1: Firstly, you need to add all the numbers given in the list Step 2: then divide the calculated sum by the number of terms given in the list, Step 3: the average of numbers can be expressed as: Sum of Values Average = Be viibare \f Values EXAMPLES Here's an average example for better understanding, Given a set of values: 1, 2,3, 4 and 5. Werknow that Average = Sum of all the values / total ni Step 1: Sum of the numbers (142434445) = 15, Step 2: Total number of terms = 5 Putting the sum and thi definition of average, ‘umber of values,(evel Matha & Abily Whe avecane F tqunal tae Wooawapite B Fi HNO AVOCA AT He give Hue AO 1 sentation Hoek wate Re EOL AMRIT ET LGB 0 te requ don Wel er Or Fert et Avene ® YA THe Average fH equal ta 16 Hawyple © A The age oe td Hite Li a fall © Then flit (Ne average age at the at Saltion, Hi tenn te 00 1 1 1) 14, 1%) Ty 1, 1, Herta Wi the fat all team, Aaiveit He age oF atident wee TET HE TA EP Del's find he atin of the agen of student, Sane (UE e Led ben enper edged ge g) e120 Dota number of teria & 10 Average =1N/ 10 The average age of the students of the football leant ti equal to 12 Hvauyple d Le the heights of foamaton in a claws ave 6,5, 8.4, 57, 8:9, 4, Bl, 6, 86, 84, De ‘Then find the average height of females of the clans, Solution: Given the height of femalos* 8.5, 5.4, 5,7, 5.9, 4,51, 5.8, 5,6, 5.4, 2 Sun * (BSA IT LG, 85,695.42) 9505 Total number of terms © 10 Average #50.3/10 average height of the females in the class is 5.3,General Maths & Ability 13. anes ee Of Ali, Nadeem and Salman is 30 years while ave and Nadeem is 31 years, What is the age of Ali?

It is The word “Percent” is derived from two words “Pei ind “Cent” Per means divided, over, upon and Cent means 100. That means whenever percent will be given 100 will be in fraction like /100. For example 20% means 20/100 or 70 percent = 70/100, 1 % mean 1/100 same like 20% of 50 meant 1/100 * 50 So when we say “Percent” we are really saying “per 100” 10 BASIC RULES FOR PERCENTAGE | There are two basic rules of Percentage that must be kept in mind while solving percentage problems | | Rule#'l: If percentage %age is given in the problem then 100 will be divided in fraction | For example Mr. Hamid got 80% marks in FSC and there are total marks 1000. Now how many marks did he get out of 1000 marks? As the age is given so 100 will be divided the equation will become as 80/100 * 1000 = 800 marks _ Rule#2: If the %age is to be calculated then 100 will be multiplied. For example taking again the above example Mr. Hamid got 800 marks out of total 1000 marks, now how much percent did he get? As the %age is to be calculated so 100 will be multiplied the equation will become as 800/100 * 100=80% FOR PERCENTAGE PROBLEMS being used for statement based problems in percentage. 80? concepts of percent we might have different equations That might be a 20 x 100 (ivy Sx 100General thats le Aojliny 77.
