The wickets taken by a bowler in 10 cricket matches are as follows:
| 2 | 6 | 4 | 5 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
Find the mode of the data.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 2
The mode is the value that occurs most often in the data, so count how many times each number of wickets appears in the ten matches:
2 wickets: in 3 matches
3 wickets: in 2 matches
0, 1, 4, 5 and 6 wickets: in one match each
The value 2 occurs most often, so the mode is 2.
