A computerized weather system recorded the temperature, in degrees, at various locations at midnight.



18, 15, 16, 18, 20, 17, 14, 17, 18, 20



What is the mode of the temperatures?









A.

17.3








B.

17.5








C.

18








D.

20

Answer 1

Mode is just the number that occurs most often.

18, 15, 16, 18, 20, 17, 14, 17, 18, 20

17.5 and 17.3 never occur. 18 occurs 3 times. 20 occurs twice.

So 18

Answer 2

The mode for this set of numbers is 18 because there are three 18's in the set of number, and only two 20's. :D
