A bookstore sold 11 books by Haruki
Murakami, two books by Henry Thoreau, and six books by Carl Jung. Determine the mode for this
data.
We know that the mode of any data
set is the value or item that appears most often. In this question, we have 11 books
by Haruki Murakami. We have two books by Henry
Thoreau. And finally, we have six books by
Carl Jung. We are looking for the book that
appears the most. As 11 is greater than two and six,
11 is the highest frequency. As this value corresponds to the
books of Haruki Murakami, we can say that he is the mode for this data. The mode will be the author with
the highest number of books.
