Question

What will happen to the mode of a data set if you add a positive number to every value?

Answer 1

The mode will also increase by the same number

Explanation:

Let there be a data set: `a_1;a_2;a_3;...;a_n`. Let `m` be a mode of this set.

If you add a number `n` to every value, the quantity of numbers will not change, only the numbers change, so if a number `m` had the most occurences (`m` is the mode), after adding a number `m+n` will have the most occurences (it will occur at the same positions in the set as `m` in the first).
