arunbg said:I thought mode was that event or observation that occurred most frequently.
In this case since the frequencies are not given (assumed to be 1), all the elements should be modes right ?
Or are you talking of median (middlemost value in magnitude) ?
The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a set of data. In this case, the mode is 1 and 2 because they both appear twice. Therefore, the mode is both 1 and 2.
To determine the mode, you need to count how many times each number appears in the set. The number with the highest frequency is the mode. In this case, both 1 and 2 have the same frequency, so the mode is both 1 and 2.
The mode is important because it gives us a sense of the most common value or values in a set of data. It can also help us identify any outliers or unusual values in the data set.
Yes, there can be more than one mode in a set of data if multiple values appear with the same frequency. In this case, the mode is both 1 and 2 because they have the same frequency of two.
If no number appears more than once, then there is no mode. This means that all the values in the set are unique and there is no most frequently occurring value.
