Question

What is the mode of the following items 0, 1, 6, 7, 2, 3, 7, 6, 6, 2, 6, 0, 5, 6, 0?
A. 0
B. 5
C. 6
D. 2

Answer 1

Hint: First we will find the number of the same type of items for each item. The maximum repeated item is known as the mode of the items.

Formula Used:
The value that repeatedly appears in a given set is called the mode.

Complete step by step solution:
Given items are 0, 1, 6, 7, 2, 3, 7, 6, 6, 2, 6, 0, 5, 6, 0.
The number of 0 items repeated in the list is 3.
The number of 1 item repeated in the list is 1.
The number of 6 items repeated in the list is 5.
The number of 7 items repeated in the list is 2.
The number of 2 items repeated in the list is 2.
The number of 3 items repeated in the list is 1.
The number of 5 items repeated in the list is 1.
Item 6 appears as maximum times. Thus, the mode of the given list is 6.

Option ‘D’ is correct

Note: Mean, mode, and median are the three measures of central tendency in statistics. Mode is the most frequently occurring value on the list.
Sometimes the mode of the object is equal to the mean but it doesn't always happen. The object that appears maximum times is known as mode.
