Find the modes of this data set.

Answer 1

The modes would be 17 and 18

Answer 2

Hey there!

Mode is basically the number(s) in a data plot you see MORE THAN once

• 18 appeared four times (this could be a possible answer)

• 17 appeared four times (this could be a possible answer)

• 19 appeared one time (this can’t be your answer)

• 20 appeared two times (this could be a possible answer)

Possible answers: 17,18, & 20

Since 17 & 18 appeared the MOST in the data plot those numbers could be your mode in your given data plot

Answer: 17 & 18

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
