Calculate mode from the following data of marks obtained by 10(ten) students : 
10, 27, 24, 12, 27, 27, 20, 18, 15, 30 :

The correct answer is
27

Calculate Mode for Student Marks Data

The question requires finding the mode from a given list of marks obtained by 10 students. The mode represents the value that occurs most frequently within a dataset.

Data Frequency Analysis

First, list the marks provided:

10, 27, 24, 12, 27, 27, 20, 18, 15, 30

Next, determine the frequency of each distinct mark:

  • 10: Appears 1 time
  • 12: Appears 1 time
  • 15: Appears 1 time
  • 18: Appears 1 time
  • 20: Appears 1 time
  • 24: Appears 1 time
  • 27: Appears 3 times
  • 30: Appears 1 time

Mode Identification

By observing the frequencies calculated above, the mark 27 appears more times than any other mark in the dataset (it appears 3 times).

Therefore, the mode of the given student marks data is 27.
