Calculate the mode from the following data.
| Days of confinement | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| Number of patients | 4 | 6 | 7 | 5 | 3 |
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A

So, the higher frequency is 7
now, the days of confinement corresponding with the higher frequency = 8
Hence, the mode of the given data is 8
