Question

fill in the blank so that the resulting statement is true. a data value that occurs most often in a data set is the measure of central tendency called the. a data value that occurs most often in a data set is the measure of central tendency called the mean. median. mode. midrange.

Explanation:

The mode is defined as the data value that appears most frequently in a data set. The mean is the average of all data values ($\text{mean}=\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}x_{i}}{n}$). The median is the middle - value when the data is ordered. The midrange is calculated as $\text{midrange}=\frac{\text{minimum value}+\text{maximum value}}{2}$. Since the question asks for the measure based on the most - frequent occurrence, the mode is the correct answer.

Answer:

mode
