Chapter Three: Numerical Measures of the Data
Mode:- is the score that occurs most frequently (denoted by M)
Example:- The following data represent the duration (in days) of U.S. space shuttle voyages for the years 1992-94. Find the mode.
Data set: 8, 9, 9, 14, 8, 8, 10, 7, 6, 9, 7, 8, 10, 14, 11, 8, 14, 11.
Ordered set: 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11, 11, 14, 14, 14. Mode = 8 days.
Example:- Six strains of bacteria were tested to see how long they could remain alive outside their normal environment. The time, in minutes, is given below. Find the mode.
Data set: 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10.
There is no mode. since each data value occurs equally with a frequency of one.
