Question

1. the mode of a data set is:

a. the difference between the highest and lowest values
b. always unique
c. found by dividing the sum of all values by the number of values
d. the value that appears most frequently

Explanation:

• Option a: The difference between the highest and lowest values is the range, not the mode.
• Option b: A data set can have more than one mode (bimodal, trimodal, etc.), so it's not always unique.
• Option c: Dividing the sum of all values by the number of values gives the mean, not the mode.
• Option d: By definition, the mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set.

Answer:

d. The value that appears most frequently
