Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 2013 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report


Using the histogram, estimate the mode of distribution

Answer Details
In a histogram, the mode is the value with the highest frequency, or the tallest bar. Looking at the given histogram, it appears that the tallest bar is the one corresponding to the interval between 52 and 54, which means that the mode lies somewhere in that interval. Since the interval width is 2, we can estimate the mode to be around the middle of the interval, which is (52 + 54)/2 = 53. Therefore, the estimated mode of the distribution is 53.5. So, the answer is (c) 53.5.
