CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 258

A data analyst needs to determine the most common number of minutes users spend on a company's website. Which of the following statistical measures should be applied to find this value?

Answer options

• A. Mean
• B. Average
• C. Mode
• D. Median

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Mode, as it represents the value that appears most frequently in a data set. The Mean and Average both refer to the same calculation of central tendency, which does not specifically identify the most common value, while the Median indicates the middle value when data is sorted, not the most frequent one.
