Question

What is the mode of the data set?

Answer 1

The data set is

20

32, 34, 36

40, 42, 44, 48

55

65

We can see that each value only shows up one time. Therefore there is no mode. To have a mode, we need to have a value show up more than once, and it must be the most frequent value. For example, the set {1,2,3,3,4} has a mode of 3 since it shows up twice, the most of any value in that set. However we don't have that occur for the data set your teacher gave you.

Final Answer: There is no mode for this data set
