Question

There are lottery tickets labelled numbers from 1 to 500. I want to find the number which is most common in the lottery tickets. What quantity do I need to use?

Options

• Mode

• Mean

• Median

• None of the above

Answer 1

Mode

Explanation:-

In a distribution, mode gives the data whose frequency is highest. This means that for an ungrouped distribution the mode is the value of the data that repeats a maximum number of times. For the lottery tickets, I want to find the most repeated number. The mode will serve this purpose.
