Tap to reveal answer
The mode is the value that appears most often or has more frequency which is
in this problem. The total number of data values are
. Since the number of values is odd, the median is the single middle value which is the
value in this problem. So the median is
.

To determine the mode, you need to identify which number appears most frequently in the set of numbers.
In this set of numbers, the number 2 shows up three times, and no other number occurs three or more times. Thus, it is the only mode.

The mode is simply the value that appears most often in a given data set. In this data set the value 77 appears three times. The value 68 appears twice. No other value appears more than once, which means 77 is the mode.
You may want to arrange the values in numerical order if it helps you see the repeating values, but it isn't required.

The mode of a data set is the element that appears most frequently; a data set with no mode has all of its elements appear exactly once.
All of the integers from 1 to 10 except for 5 are known to appear in this data set at least once. If
is equal to any of those integers, it is the only one repeated, and it is the mode. Only if
can the set not have a repeated value. That makes this the correct choice.
