Paper 4 · statistics - stem and leaf
Using the same 24 sweet masses (g) 0.72, 0.73, 0.79, 0.80, 0.88, 0.91, 0.91, 0.94, 0.98, 0.99, 1.01, 1.03, 1.06, 1.08, 1.13, 1.13, 1.13, 1.19, 1.21, 1.22, 1.33, 1.39, 1.44, 1.45, find the mode.
A g
B g
C g
D g
Explanation: The value 1.13 g occurs three times in the list, more often than any other value: 0.91 g occurs only twice, and every other value (including 1.03 g and 1.21 g) occurs just once, so the mode is 1.13 g.
