Q. Dan has the following data:\newline14,15,14,y,15,1814, 15, 14, y, 15, 18\newlineIf the mode is 1515, which number could yy be?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)(A) 1515\newline(B)(B) 1414
  1. Understand the problem: Step 11: Understand the problem and the data given.\newlineDan has the numbers 1414, 1515, 1414, yy, 1515, 1818, and we know the mode is 1515. The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a set of data.
  2. Analyze frequency: Step 22: Analyze the frequency of the existing numbers.\newlineCurrently, the number 1515 appears twice, and the number 1414 also appears twice. The number 1818 appears once.
  3. Determine possible values: Step 33: Determine the possible values for yy that would keep 1515 as the mode.\newlineIf yy is 1515, then 1515 would appear three times, making it still the mode. If yy is 1414, then 1414 would appear three times, tying with 1515 for the mode. However, since the problem states that the mode is 1515, yy cannot be 1414 because it would change the mode to both 1414 and 1515.
