What is the mode of the data set?

8 | 5 8

9 | 2 2 2 8

11 | 3

12 | 6 7

A. 103

B. 106

C. 105

D. 92

Answer: 92 which is choice D

Look at the right side of values for the digit that comes up the most. In this case, it would be '2' in the second row. It shows up 3 times. Those leafs pair up with the stem of 9 to form the full value 92. So we have 92 show up three times which is the most frequent value.

The data set would expand out to

85, 88

92, 92, 92, 98

105, 106, 106, 109

113

126, 127
