A class survey revealed that the members of the class had
been born in Oregon (O), Washington (W), Idaho (I),
California (C), Utah (U), and Florida (F). The data below
show where each member of the class was born.
Make a frequency table and find the mode of the birth
places.
U, I, W, O, C, W, U, F, W, W, I, C, U, U, I, C, W, U, O, I,
U, C, O, U, C, W, F, O, U, I



Answer :

Answer: Frequency table below. Mode: Utah

Step-by-step explanation: To create a frequency table, we have to count the occurrences of each birthplace in the given data set. By counting, we know that there are 8 students born in Utah, 5 in Idaho, 6 in Washington, 4 in Oregon, 5 in California, & 2 in Florida.

This makes our frequency table:

Birthplace        |    Frequency

----------------------------------------

  Utah              |     8

  Idaho             |     5

  Washington  |     6

  Oregon         |     4

  California      |    5

  Florida          |     2

We can see that there are the most students born in Utah. Since the mode is the most common number in a data set, our mode is U (Utah).
