Question 1 Report

The scores of students in a test are recorded as follows: 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 3, and 5. Find the mode of the mark.
Answer Details

To find the mode of a set of numbers, we need to identify the number that appears the most frequently among the given values. These numbers represent the scores obtained by students in a test.


The numbers we have are: 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 3, and 5.


Let's count the frequency of each number in the set:


  • 1 occurs 1 time.
  • 2 occurs 2 times.
  • 3 occurs 3 times.
  • 4 occurs 1 time.
  • 5 occurs 2 times.
  • 7 occurs 1 time.
  • 8 occurs 1 time.

The number 3 appears more frequently than the other numbers, appearing 3 times.


Therefore, the mode of the test scores is 3. This means that 3 is the number that most students scored.
