I need help for finding the mode, since 10 is presented two times, and 26 is presented two times. Can there be more than one mode? What would the mode be for this data set? Also, if there are any corrections that i made mistakes on, please let me know!! Thank you!!

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode if multiple categories repeat an equal number of times. For example, in a data set with five item—3, 5, 5, 29, 473—the mode is 5 because it occurs twice and no other value occurs more than once. On a histogram or bar chart, the element with the highest bar represents the mode. Therefore, the mode is sometimes considered the most popular option. The mode is useful for nominal or categorical data (e.g., the most common color car that users purchase), but it is problematic for continuous data because it is more likely not to have any value that is more frequent than the other.

Expert Solution

Step 1

$m e a n = \frac{\sum_{i} X_{i}}{n}$

mean = 33.19

arrange the data in ascending order

here n is even, so median is average middle two numbers

$m e d i a n = \frac{26 + 27}{2}$

$m e d i a n = 26.5$

mode is value which have maximum frequency

here 10 and 26 have maximum and same frequency,

So, mode = 10 and 26
