What is the mode of a data set with ten data values?
-
The value 15 occurs four times in the data set.
-
The value 16 occurs three times in the data set.
What is the mode of a data set with ten data values?
-
The value 15 occurs four times in the data set.
-
The value 16 occurs three times in the data set.
If we are given only that 15 occurs four times in the data set, it is possible that another number can occur up to six times; similarly, if we are given only that 16 occurs three times, it is possible that another number can occur up to seven times. Either way, the mode - the most frequently occurring data value - cannot be determined.
However, if we know both facts, then no other data value can occur more than three times, so 15 must be the mode.
Therefore, the answer is that both statements are sufficient, but not one alone.
