Try a sample Mode of a data set question
Question 1 — Easy
The waiting times (minutes) for a ride were recorded: 15, 20, 15, 25, 20, 15, 30. What is the MODE?
Answer: The MODE is the value that appears MOST OFTEN. Count: 15 appears 3 times, 20 appears 2 times, 25 once, 30 once. Mode = 15 minutes. Option A (20 minutes) is the MEDIAN (middle value when sorted). Option C (22 minutes) is incorrect. Option D (25 minutes) is one of the less frequent values.
Question 2 — Medium
The pictograph shows food orders at the school canteen. Each symbol represents 10 orders. How many orders were recorded in total?
Answer: Total symbols = 3 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 15. Total orders = 15 × 10 = 150.
Question 3 — Hard
The pictograph shows food orders at the school canteen. Each symbol represents 10 orders. What fraction of all orders were for Pizza? Give your answer in simplest form.
Answer: Pizza = 50 orders. Total = 150 orders. Fraction = 50/150 = 1/3.
