Exercise 45 error

Extremesarova opened this issue · 1 comments

Describe Error
It is asked in the task to find the mode for several columns.
The right answer is:
alcohol | proline
12.37 | 520.0
13.05 | 680.0
Because the mode is not necessarily unique to a given discrete distribution, the probability mass function may take the same maximum value at several points.
In this case, alcohol values are repeated 6 times and proline values are repeated 5 times.

Exercise / Set
Exercise 45 / Set 5

Suggested Fix
I don't know - maybe you can specify in the task that only the first value should be returned or the mode function can be improved so it will return multiple values.

Thank you for sharing this.

Having the mode function output multiple values in case of a tie is a core library functionality and better suited for the official datatable repository.

For the sake of removing the ambiguity here, I've updated the exercise to use columns that have a unique mode value.
