zuke Always find the mode first as it is the easiest to spot.
rainatt useful tip!
surob I did find a mode and it helped to exclude all calculations.
8thlegend wasted another 10 mins of my life by doing all calculation instead of looking for mode
quichoad LOL @ 8thlegend
gulfa99 well done legend..atleast u got the answer right :)
2014 what if mode is placed first in answer sequene but last in question. Do we would get such type of question.
abs013 Did the same thing look for the mode lol.

How can we solve this with the calculator?
choas69 was trying to check if 2nd insert data 2nd stat will show mode and median too but it only shows the mean, dont waste your time.
