Question 1 Report

The table above shows the weights of twelve mathematics students. Find the modal weight.

Answer Details

Total number of students = x + 1 + 2x + 2 + 3 = 3x + 6 = 12  

Solve for x:  
3x + 6 = 12  
3x = 6  
x = 2  

Now substitute x = 2:  

- 54 kg: 2 students  
- 56 kg: 1 student  
- 58 kg: 4 students (2x = 4)  
- 60 kg: 2 students  
- 62 kg: 3 students  

The frequencies are: 2, 1, 4, 2, 3.  

The highest frequency is 4 (at 58 kg).  Thus, Modal weight: 58 kg
