A team scored 2, 3, 3, 5 and 7 goals in five matches. What is the modal number of goals? Enter the number of goals.
Correct answer
3 · Accepted units: goals
Explanation
The value 3 appears twice while every other value appears once, so 3 goals is the most frequent result and therefore the mode. Answering 2 reports how many times that result occurred rather than which result occurred most often, and a frequency and a data value answer two different questions.
