Answer 1

Answer:

27 is the mode of the number of points per game.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of games = 1558

Sample size = 8

Sample of points made per game:

27, 19, 29, 19, 25, 27, 25, 27

Sorted data:

19, 19, 25, 25, 27, 27, 27, 29

Mode:

• It is the most frequent observation in the sample.

Since 27 repeats itself three times that is highest repeating number, the mode of the data is 27.

27 is the mode of the number of points per game.
