A cricket player scored the following runs in 12 one-day matches:
50, 30, 9, 32, 60, 50, 28, 50, 19, 50, 27, 35.
Find his modal score.
Calculate the mode of each of the following using the empirical formula.
By arranging the given data in ascending order,
9, 19, 27, 28, 30, 32, 35, 50, 50, 50, 50, 60
As we can clearly see that the player has scored 50maximum times, so 50 is the modal of the given data.
To calculate mode by empirical method we have to arrange the data in the form of frequency table,
Values | Frequency |
9 | 1 |
19 | 1 |
27 | 1 |
28 | 1 |
30 | 1 |
32 | 1 |
35 | 1 |
50 | 4 |
60 | 1 |
As we can see 50 has occurred the maximum times so 50 is the mode of the given data.
