SAT Math - How to find mode

There are ten numbers in a set. The numbers are 6, 4, 10, 12, 2, 6, 4, 5, 3, and 4. Find the mode.

Explanation

The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a set. It is the most common number. The number 4 appears three times in the set and more than any other number. Therefore, it is the mode.

Looking at the table, what is the difference of the mean minus the mode.

–0.5

1.0

0.5

–1.0

Explanation

The mode is 3 and subtracting 3 from 2.5 gives -0.5.

Find the mode from the following set of numbers

1, 4, 8, 17, 8, 8, 15, 21, 32, 17

Explanation

The mode is the number that appears the most in a given set of numbers

Ms. Shannon gives her class a math test. The following represent their scores:

100, 100, 90, 98, 97, 96, 96, 86, 84, 96, 87, 70, 100, 96

What is the mode of the class's scores?

Explanation

The mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs most often.

100, 100, 90, 98, 97, 96, 96, 86, 84, 96, 87, 70, 100, 96

The above sets when put in ascending order is,

70, 84, 86, 87, 90, 96, 96, 96, 96, 97, 98, 100, 100, 100

100 occurs 3 times

96 occurs 4 times

and all other values occur only once.

In this case, the score that occurs most often is 96.

Find the mode.

$\dpi{100} \small 9,6,9,6,5,9,8,3$

$\dpi{100} \small 9$

$\dpi{100} \small 6$

$\dpi{100} \small 5$

$\dpi{100} \small 8$

$\dpi{100} \small 3$

Explanation

The mode is the number that appears the most often. 9 appears three times.

Determine the mode of the Dot Plot.

$\text{Mode}=10$

$\text{Mode}=3$

$\text{Mode}=5$

$\text{Mode}=9$

$\text{Mode}=4$

Explanation

To determine the mode, we need to count how many diamonds are on each number. The mode is the most frequently occurring number.

Since has a frequency of , it is the mode.

Alice rolled a single -sided die times and recorded the top number of the die after each roll. Her results were:

What is the mode of this collection of data?

Explanation

The "mode" is defined as thevalue which occurs most often in a collection of data. To determine which number came up most often during Alice's rolls of a single die, count how many times the numbers through appeared in the data set:

came up times.

Since the number was rolled most often, is the mode of this set of recorded throws of the die.

Find the Mean and Mode of the data set. ${\left { 1,8,6,4,7,3,6}\right}$

$\ Mean=5 \ Mode=6$

$\ Mean=6 \ Mode=5$

$\ Mean=6 \ Mode=6$

$\ Mean=7 \ Mode=5$

$\Mean=35 \ Mode=6$

Explanation

The mean is the average of the data

$\frac{1+8+6+4+7+3+6}{7}=\frac{35}{7}=5$

The mode is the data point that appears the most often. In this case the mode is because it appears twice.

Find the mode of the following set of numbers:

1,5,14,17,22,23,23

Explanation

To find the mode, you must remember that mode is the most frequently occurring number. Thus, you just look for the number that appears the most. Thus, our answer is 23.

What is the mode in this set?
