Question

harry weeded the neighbors gardens all summer. the 8 neighbors paid: $25.00 $13.00 $25.00 $26.00 $15.00 $33.00 $33.00 $27.00 what was the mode of the amounts paid? $□$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mode definition

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data - set.

Step2: Count frequency of each value

• $25$ appears 2 times.
• $13$ appears 1 time.
• $26$ appears 1 time.
• $15$ appears 1 time.
• $33$ appears 2 times.
• $27$ appears 1 time.

Step3: Determine the mode

Since both $25$ and $33$ appear 2 times (more frequently than other values), the data - set is bimodal. But if we consider one value, we can choose either. Let's choose the smaller one for simplicity.

Answer:

$25$
