The table shows the number of goals scored by a team in a football season. What was the mode number of goals scored?
In this question, we are given a table containing the frequency of the number of goals scored by a team in each match of a season. And we want to use this to find the mode number of goals scored in a match by that team in that season.
To answer this question, we can begin by recalling that the mode of a data set is the element in the data set that appears the most often. Saying that an element appears the most often is the same as saying it has the highest frequency in the data set. So, we want to find the number of goals scored in a match with the highest frequency. We can do this by finding the highest value in the frequency row of the table. We see that 11 is the highest frequency. We can then see that two goals scored in a match is the value with the highest frequency. So it is the value that appears most often in the data set.
Hence, the mode number of goals scored by this team in this season is two.
