Q. Look at this set of 88 numbers:\newline9,2,8,1,3,2,7,59, 2, 8, 1, 3, 2, 7, 5\newlineHow would the mode change if the number 99 replaced one of the 22's in the set?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)increase\newline(B)decrease\newline(C)no change\newline
  1. Identify Mode of Original Set: Identify the mode of the original set.\newlineOriginal set: 9,2,8,1,3,2,7,59, 2, 8, 1, 3, 2, 7, 5\newlineThe number 22 appears twice, which is more frequent than any other number.\newlineMode of original set: 22
  2. Replace Number with 99: Replace one of the 22's with a 99.\newlineNew set: 9,9,8,1,3,2,7,59, 9, 8, 1, 3, 2, 7, 5\newlineNow, the number 99 appears twice, matching the frequency of the remaining 22.
  3. Identify Mode of New Set: Identify the mode of the new set.\newlineIn the new set, both 99 and 22 appear twice. There are two modes now: 99 and 22.
  4. Compare Original and New Modes: Compare the mode of the original set to the new set.\newlineOriginal mode: 22\newlineNew modes: 99 and 22\newlineThe mode has increased by including an additional number (99) as a mode.
