If the mean of the following set of data, 2, 3,3,3, 2,4, 4, and 3 is divided by its mode, the result is:
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
5
E
8
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
The mean of 2, 3, 3, 3, 4,4, and 3 = \(\frac{ 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2+ 4 + 4 +3}{ 8} = \frac{24}{8}\) = 3
The mode of 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, and 3 = 3
Hence, the mean of 2,3,3,3,4,4, and 3 divided by its mode = \(\frac{3}{3}\) = 1
