a data set consists of a set of numerical values. which of the following is correct?
a. there is no mode
b. there are 2 modes
c. there are 3 modes
I answered a there is no mode is this correct?
Reread the definition of mode. CAn there be two modes? three modes?
Since I cannot see the data, I cannot answer your question.
Mode = most frequently observed score.
My mnemonic for mode is "pie a la mode," which means pie with ice cream, the most frequently observed way of having pie with something on it. Which scores, if any, have the most scoops of ice cream?
The question is: A data set consists of a set of numerical values. Which, if any, of the following statements could be correct?
a. there is no mode
b. there are two modes
c. there are three modes
I answered a. there is no mode.
There is no mode
To determine the correct answer, we need to first understand what mode means in statistics. In a dataset, the mode refers to the value or values that appear most frequently.
To find the mode of a dataset, you need to analyze the frequency distribution of the numerical values. This involves counting the number of times each value appears and identifying the value(s) with the highest frequency.
In your case, if the dataset consists of numerical values and there is no value that appears more frequently than others, then the dataset has no mode. So, if you answered option a, "there is no mode," you are correct.
