Question

The weights in pounds of Renold's 7 dogs are 18, 22, 17, 20, 18, 20, and 18. The mean, median and mode of the weights are given below. Mean = 19 median = 18 mode = 18 Which value describes the weight that occurred most often? Median = 18 Median = 18 Mean = 19 Range = 5 Mode = 18

Answer 1

Mode = 18

Explanation:

Given the weights in pounds of Renold's 7 dogs are 18, 22, 17, 20, 18, 20, and 18.

Mode is the weight of the dogs occurring most in the dataset. It is the value with the highest frequency.

From the data given, you can see that 18pounds occurs 3 times and it has the highest occurrence compared to other weights of the dogs.

Hence the value that describes the weight that occurred most often is the Mode which is equal to 18
