Finding the Mode of the Data Set

The mode is the value that occurs most often in a set of data.

Steps to Calculate the Mode

  1. List all the data points provided.
  2. Tally the frequency (count) of each distinct number.
  3. Determine which number has the highest frequency.

Frequency Analysis of the Data

The data set consists of the following numbers: 86, 84, 71, 82, 82, 63, 84, 71, 70, 86, 88, 65, 71, 81, 87, 60, 60, 74, 78, 62, 75, 66, 68, 85, 72.

Counting the occurrences of each number results in the following frequencies:

Number Frequency
60 2
62 1
63 1
65 1
66 1
68 1
70 1
71 3
72 1
74 1
75 1
78 1
81 1
82 2
84 2
85 1
86 2
87 1
88 1

Mode Identification Result

Observing the frequency table, the number 71 appears 3 times, which is the highest frequency compared to all other numbers in the data set.

Thus, the mode of the given data is 71.
