Find the mode of the data 15, 14, 19, 20,14,15,16,14,15,18,14,19,15,17,15. If last observation is changed to 14, then find the new mode.
Arranging the data in the ascending order, we have,
14, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 19, 20
Here, 15 occurs must frequency (5 times)
∴ Mode = 15
If the last observation is change to 14, then new data become
14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 19,20
Here, 14 occurs must frequently (5 times)
∴ New mode = 14
