Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to find the modes of the following sets of numbers:
Set a) "{3, 13, 6, 8, 10, 5, 6}."
Set b) "{12, 0, 15, 15, 13, 19, 16, 13, 16, 16}."
Note that the mode is the number that occurs most frequently within a data set.
To begin: let's find the mode of Set: a:
_____
First, let's list all the values within Set: a: in order of smallest to largest—to simplify matters:
→ " { 3, 5, 6, 6, 8, 10, 13 }."
In this data set, there is only one value that occurs more than once—
which is 6. As such, the mode of "Data Set: a" is 6 .
Then: To continue: let's find the mode of Set: b:
_____
Second, Let's list all the values within Set: b: in order of smallest to largest—again; to simplify matters:
→ " { 0, 12, 13, 13, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 19 } ."
In this data set, we see the following:
Each of the three values: 0, 12, and 19 appear only once;
13 and 15 individually, appear twice; and:
16 appears "three times".
As such:
The value, 16 appears the most in this data set; and:
→ The mode of "Data Set: b"—is 16.
_____
The correct answers are: [A]: "6 " ; and: [B]: " 16 ."
