Question

1. the dot plot shows the temperature (°c) of a lab sample recorded over a period of time. each dot represents 1 hour. find the mode of the data set. mode of the data set = or

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of mode

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

Step2: Count the number of dots (frequency) for each temperature

• For \(23^{\circ}C\): \(1\) dot.
• For \(24^{\circ}C\): \(2\) dots.
• For \(25^{\circ}C\): \(1\) dot.
• For \(26^{\circ}C\): \(3\) dots.
• For \(27^{\circ}C\): \(2\) dots.
• For \(28^{\circ}C\): \(3\) dots.

Answer:

\(26\) OR \(28\)
