The mode of the dataset {2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6} is:
3
4
5
6
5
Count the frequency of each distinct number in the dataset by tallying them quickly; the number appearing the most times is the mode.
Dataset = {2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6}
Mode=Value┬аwith┬аthe┬аhighest┬аfrequency
Count the frequency of each distinct number in the dataset by tallying them quickly; the number appearing the most times is the mode.
Confusing mode with median or mean, or miscounting the frequencies of repeating numbers.
Identify the Dataset
List all the given observations in the dataset: 2,3,3,4,5,5,5,6.
2,3,3,4,5,5,5,6
Count Frequencies
Count the occurrences of each unique value: 2 appears 1 time, 3 appears 2 times, 4 appears 1 time, 5 appears 3 times, and 6 appears 1 time.
Frequency┬аof┬а5=3
Determine the Mode
Since the value 5 has the highest frequency of 3, it is the mode of the dataset.
Mode=5
C is correct because the value 5 appears most frequently (3 times) in the given dataset.
Understanding measures of central tendency like mean, median, and mode is essential for tackling data interpretation and statistics questions in RRB exams.
