Q
Q: If the mode of the data set 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5 is removed, what will be the new mode?
Solution: New mode = 2 (as 4 is removed, 2 is the next most frequent).
Steps: 6
Step 1: Identify the original data set: 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5.
Step 2: Determine the mode of the original data set. The mode is the number that appears most frequently, which is 4 (it appears 3 times).
Step 3: Remove the mode (4) from the data set. The new data set is now: 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Step 4: Find the new mode of the updated data set. Count the frequency of each number: 1 appears 1 time, 2 appears 2 times, 3 appears 1 time, 4 appears 1 time, and 5 appears 1 time.
Step 5: Identify the number that appears most frequently in the new data set. The number 2 appears the most (2 times).
