Question

The test scores for a group of students are shown.
87, 72, 98, 84, 72, 65, 72, 70, 58, 91, 81, 84
What is the mode of the scores?
A.
84
B.
78.8
C.
98
D.
85.5

Answer 1

the mode is 72 because 72 appears three times  and the others are shown twice but 72 isn't an answer and the only other one with the most often is 84 which appears twice so the answer would be A

Answer 2

Mode is the number that occurs most often. Out of those numbers, 72 would be the mode. But since that's not an option, I would say 84.
