Question

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

Explanation:

The mode is a statistical measure. Let's analyze each option:

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

Answer:

C. The value that appears most frequently
