Question

what is the mode of the set of numbers? 62, 56, 54, 48, 60, 61

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of mode

The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a data set.

Step2: Check the frequency of each number

In the set \( \{62,56,54,48,60,61\} \), each number appears only once.

Answer:

There is no mode for this set (or we can say the data set is multimodal with each mode having a frequency of 1, but in common terms when no repetition, often stated as no mode). However, if following strict definition where a single - element frequency of 1 is still a mode (in some lenient interpretations), but typically in basic statistics, since there's no repetition, we can also note that all elements are modes. But the most standard answer for a beginner - level statistics problem where mode is expected to be a value with \( f>1 \) is that there is no mode. If we have to pick based on strict frequency (even if \( f = 1 \)), then all the numbers \( 48,54,56,60,61,62 \) are modes. But usually, for such a non - repeating set, the answer is "There is no mode".
