Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 58E
Exercises 57 and 58 refer to the mode of a data set. The mode of a data set is the data point that occurs with the highest frequency. When there are several data points (or categories) tied for the most frequent, each of them is a mode, but if all data points have the same frequency, rather than say that every data point is a mode, it is customary to say that there is no mode.
a. Find the mode category for the data set described by the pie chart in Fig. 15-19(a).
b. Find the mode category for the data set shown in Fig. 15-19(b). If there is no mode, your answer should indicate so.
