1

The numbers in a set are and . Find the mode.

Explanation

The mode is simply the number that appears most frequently in a set. Because is the only number that appears more than once, it is the mode.

2

Determine the mode for the set of numbers:

Explanation

The mode is defined as the number or numbers that occur most often in the set of numbers.

Since every number is unique, and only appears once, there is no mode present.

Do not confuse the mode with the median or mean.

The answer is:

3

Identify the mode, if any:

Explanation

The mode includes all numbers that have the highest frequency present.

The only number that appears the most is zero.

Even though occurs twice, it is not the highest frequency.

The answer is:

4

Find the mode of the following data set:

Explanation

Find the mode of the following data set:

Let's begin by putting our numbers in increasing order:

Next, identify the mode by finding the most common term.

In this case, our mode is 44, because we have 2 44's, and only 1 of everything else.

So, our answer is 44

5

Use the following data set to answer the question:

Find the mode.

Explanation

To find the mode of a data set, we will find the number that appears most often.

So, given the set

we can see the number that appears most often is 6 (it appears 4 times).

Therefore, the mode of the data set is 6.

6

Use the following Math test scores to answer the question:

Find the mode.

Explanation

To find the mode of a data set, we will find the number that appears most often.

So, given the set

we can see the number that appears most often is 79 (it appears two times).

Therefore, the mode of the data set is 79.

7

A class took a Math exam. Here are the test scores of 8 students.

Find the mode.

Explanation

To find the mode of a data set, we will find the number that appears most often within the set.

So, given the set

we can see that 76 appears most often (it appears 2 times, while the other scores only appear once). Therefore, the mode of the data set of test scores is 76.

8

Determine the mode of the numbers:

Explanation

The mode includes all numbers in the data set where they have the highest frequencies.

The numbers that occur most often are:

This means that the modes are:

9

Find the mode of the following data set:

Explanation

Find the mode of the following data set:

To find the mode, let's first put our terms in increasing order.

This,

Becomes...

Now, our mode is simply the most common term.

In this case, it must be 14, because we have two 14's, and only 1 of each other term.

10

Give the mode of the data set:

Explanation

The mode of a data set is the value that occurs the most frequently. If the data values are arranged in order, the set looks like this:

1 occurs three times, more than any other element. This makes 1 the mode.
