Question

suppose the 2006 prices, per ton, of wine grapes for different kinds of wine are given in the following table.

variety	price
merlot	$1,500
zinfandel	$1,500
pinot noir	$1,400
chardonnay	$1,650
sauvignon blanc	$1,050

what is the mode? (enter your answers as a comma - separated list. if an answer does not exist, enter dne.)
______ dollars

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the mode definition

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

Step2: Count occurrences of each price

• Cabernet Sauvignon: $1,800$ (1 time)
• Merlot: $1,500$ (1 time)
• Zinfandel: $1,500$ (1 time)
• Pinot Noir: $1,400$ (1 time)
• Chardonnay: $1,650$ (1 time)
• Sauvignon Blanc: $1,050$ (1 time)

Wait, no, Merlot and Zinfandel both have $1,500$, so $1,500$ appears 2 times, others appear 1 time.

Answer:

1500
