Question

What is the mode of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5?

Answer 1

Hint: For solving this question you should know about the concept of Mode for some numbers. According to the mode concept of mode we can determine the mode among some numbers by only seeing those numbers. We have to see which number is appearing most frequently in the data set. And this can be zero and one and more than one.

Complete step by step solution:

According to our question it is asked to find the mode of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

By the definition of mode it is cleared that the most observing data in a data set will be the mode of that data set. And this can be zero also. And it can be more than zero.

In the statistics, the mode is the most commonly observed value in a set of data. And for the normal distribution, the mode is always the same as the mean and median. But in many cases the modal value of a data set will differ from the average value in the data.

If we see some examples then the mode of data sets will be clear exactly.

Example – (1) 2, 2, 4, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 18

Solution – Here, 2 is repeating 2 times, 7 is also for 2 times, 8 is repeating 3 times and 9 is for 2 times.

So, here the most repeating term is 8. So, the mode is 8.

Example – (2) 2, 4, 6, 6, 6, 8, 9, 9, 9, 17, 20, 21

Solution – Here, 6 and 9 are repeated 3 times.

So, the mode of this is 6 and 9.

Example – (3) 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 17, 21, 28

Solution – Here, are no repeating terms here so the modal value is zero.

If we take our question then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Here, no term is repeated more than once.

So, there is no most observed term.

So, there is no mode in this data.

Note: When in any data set any term is repeating then that will be the most observing term. But if any set has two numbers of modes then that will be bimodal, if any have three, then it will be trimodal and if there is more than one mode that is known as multimodal.
