In a colony 5 families have 1 child, 7 families have 2 children, 8 families have 3 children and 3 families have 4 children.What is the mode of the number of children.
3
Mode Calculation: Number of Children per Family
The mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. In this problem, we need to find the number of children that is most common among the families in the colony.
Data Representation
We can represent the given data in a table format:
| Number of Children | Number of Families (Frequency) |
| 1 | 5 |
| 2 | 7 |
| 3 | 8 |
| 4 | 3 |
Identifying the Mode
To find the mode, we look for the highest frequency in the table.
- The frequency for 1 child is 5.
- The frequency for 2 children is 7.
- The frequency for 3 children is 8.
- The frequency for 4 children is 3.
The highest frequency is 8.
Conclusion
The number of children corresponding to the highest frequency (8 families) is 3.
Therefore, the mode of the number of children is 3.
