Mode of grouped of data?
The mode of a set of data is the most frequent value. Sometimes there is more than 1 most frequent value so there is more than one mode. For example our set is { 1,2,3,4,4,5,6,9} the mode is 4 and here is another set {1,2,3,3,4,5,6,6,7} the modes are 3 and 6 and we say the set is bimodal.
What is the most frequent item in a data set?
The mode, or one of the modes.
What is the importance of mode in statistics?
It is a value which is observed most often.
Can the mode and the median of a set of data be the same value?
The mode is the most frequent number in a set of data. For instance in the data 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, it is clear that 2 is the mode. The median is the middle number in the data. The above set has already been ordered from smallest to largest, and the middle number is 6. Thus the median of the above data is 6. It is clear that the mode and median can easily be the same value. For instance, in the data set 1, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 7, 9. Here, 5 is both the middle number and the most frequent. Thus the median and mode are the same value.
What does the word mode and range mean in terms of maths?
In statistics the mode is the value that is observed most often. The range is the biggest observed value minus the smallest.
