The mode is which of the following?
The most frequently occurring value in a data set
The middle most occurring value in a set of values
The difference between the highest and lowest values in a set
The arithmetic average of a set of values.
Here is a multiple choice question and we have to choose the correct option.
Our given question is,
Q) The mode is which of the following?
Now before we go on to solve the problem let us explore all the options in our problem,
Now we clearly know that in a given data set the most frequent occuring value is called the Mode of the data.
Hence the most frequently occurring value in a data set is Mode.
Now we clearly know that in a given data set the middle most value is called the Median of the data.
For a data arranged in ascending order the Median is given by,
Hence the middle most occurring value is called the Median of the data.
Now we clearly know that in a given data set the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set is called the range of the data.
The Range of a data set is given by,
Hence the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set is called the range of the data
Now we clearly know that in a given data set the arithmetic average of a set of values is called the Mean of the data.
The Mean of a data set is given by,
Hence the arithmetic average of a set of values is called the Mean of the data.
