Question

What is the mode of the numbers below?
15,
15, 10, 12,
10, 16, 10

Answer 1

The mode is 10

Because it's the number that it's repeated the most

Answer 2

Mode = 10

Explanation:

What is the mode?

The mode is the number that occurs the most in a set of data. For instance, let's say we have the following set:

3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 10, 16, 10, 17, 10

Can you see that the most common number in this set is 10? Well, this means that 10 is the mode of the dataset.

____________________________

Let's see how this works with our little set, which is;
15, 15, 10, 12, 10, 16, 10

Looks like 10 is the mode once again, because it happens 3 times while the others occur once or twice (15 occurs twice in the set).

So I conclude that 10 is the mode.
