What is the mode of this data set 1 45 67 89 101?

There is no mode of this data set because each number appears only once. For a data set to have a mode, at least one number must appear more than once. The mode of a data set is the number that appears the most.Think: mode, most


What is the number of times an item or number occurs in a data set?

It is its frequency.


How do you find the modal number?

The mode of a data set is the one item (or number) that appears the most. For example a data set of 1, 3, 3, 5 would have a mode of 3.


How do you work out the mode in maths?

The mode of a set of data is the value in the set that occurs most often. The best way to find out the mode of a set of data is to rearrange the data so that it is ascending in order of smallest to largest and then to count how many times each number appears to find the most popular. To find out the mode in statistics of ungrouped data, you have to find the number with the greatest frequency. E.g. How many times does a certain number appear. For Example: A random set of numbers: 6, 3, 4, 1, 2, 5, 3 In order from smallest to largest: 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5 ,6 The number 3 occurs twice in this set, and appears more than any other number in the set. Therefore the mode is 3.


What is a frequency table and what do the tally marks mean?

A "frequency table" just refers to a kind of table you can make to record the frequency of particular results or events, as part of an experiment or to analyse data. It is convenient to list the possible events or results along the left side of the table, and then make tally marks across from them, in order to count the number of times each one appears; thus, the tally marks represent each event or result's frequency, or the number of times it shows up.
