Question

On August 2, the noon temperature at five different lakes was 90°F, 85°F, 95°F, 80°F, and 95°F. What is the mode of this list of temperatures? A. 80°F B. 89°F C. 90°F D. 95°F

Answer 1

The five different temperatures (in order) are 80, 85, 90, 95, 95.

The question asks for the mode, which is the data point that occurs most in the set.

There are two temperatures of 95 degrees, whereas the other temperatures were only recorded once.

Thus, the mode of this list of temperatures is 95 degrees.

Hope this helps!
