Stats help needed

OpenStudy (chihiroasleaf):

what's your question?

OpenStudy (hba):

Good Question @chihiroasleaf

OpenStudy (hba):

I have worked over this problem

OpenStudy (uri):

Faizan :o

OpenStudy (hba):

AM=4 x+3+2+0+8+y+3+4/8=4 x+y+20=32 x+y=12

hartnn (hartnn):

going good so far

OpenStudy (hba):

Now what i see is that 4 is given as the mode so x and y should also be 4 but that is not the case :/

OpenStudy (hba):

Looks like the question is wrong

hartnn (hartnn):

why x AND y ?? any one of them can be 4

OpenStudy (hba):

No but as its the mode so it should be the most recurring.....

OpenStudy (hba):

I mean to say that 3 occurs 2 times and it is not the mode.So 4 should occur 3 times to be the mode

OpenStudy (hba):

And if 3 is 2 times 4 is 2 times and then 8 would be 2 times,We have 3 modes here

hartnn (hartnn):

yes so what? we can select mode as any 1 of the 3, and we select here 4

OpenStudy (hba):

Okay got it,What should my step be now?

OpenStudy (hba):

What should i do after getting an eqn?

hartnn (hartnn):

take any one of 'x' or 'y' as 4

OpenStudy (hba):

Okay got it thanks a lot,but what should i state

OpenStudy (hba):

Why am i taking x or y as 4?

OpenStudy (hba):

I need to do some reasoning?

hartnn (hartnn):

because mode =4 if none of x or y is 4, then mode cannot be 4

OpenStudy (hba):

Got it bro thanks :D

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome :)
