Hello There!

Mode: The number that occurs most often in a set of numbers.

Although it's optional, I like to put the numbers from least to greatest because it can be easier to see what number occurs the most.

-Least To Greatest-

1 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 9

When we look at our set of data, we can notice that the number 7 appears the most so the mode for out set of data is 7.

Mode = 7
