1. The problem asks for the definition of mode and to choose the data set where the median and mode are equal.
2. Definitions:
- Mean: The sum of data entries divided by the number of entries.
- Median: The middle value when data is ordered.
- Mode: The data entry that occurs with the greatest frequency.
- Outlier: A data entry far removed from others.
3. From the options, the correct definition of mode is:
C. The data entry that occurs with the greatest frequency.
4. Now, find the median and mode for each data set:
A. Data: 1, 1, 6, 6, 6, 8, 8
- Mode: 6 (occurs 3 times)
- Median: Middle value of 7 numbers is the 4th number when ordered: 6
B. Data: 2, 2, 11, 11
- Mode: 2 and 11 (both occur twice, so bimodal)
- Median: Average of 2nd and 3rd numbers: \frac{2+11}{2} = \frac{13}{2} = 6.5
C. Data: 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6
- Mode: 4 and 6 (both occur 3 times, bimodal)
- Median: 4th number is 5
D. Data: 2, 4, 6, 8, 8, 10
- Mode: 8 (occurs twice)
- Median: Average of 3rd and 4th numbers: \frac{6+8}{2} = 7
5. Only data set A has median and mode equal to 6.
Final answer:
- Definition of mode: C
- Data set where median = mode: A
