Example 2-7:
What is the mode for the given sample values?
3 5 1 4 2 9 6 10 5 3 4 3 9 3 6 1
Solution:
We see from
Figure 2-21
that one of the values occurs with the
highest frequency of 4. Thus, the data set has one mode
Figure 2-21
shows
a plot of the data values. Observe that the value of 3 occurs with the highest
frequency. Thus, the value of the mode is 3, and this data set is unimodal.
