Step by step

The question

Question: find the mode of 3, 5, 5, 4, 5, 3 and 2.

The mode is the number that comes up most often.

1 Put them in order

First we put them in order, smallest first: 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5 and 5.

We still have 7 numbers.

None is lost.

2 Count each number

3 comes 2 times.

5 comes 3 times.

We write each number, and how many times it comes.

3 Pick the most

5 comes the most: 3 times.

So the mode is 5.

Let's look back.

First: put them in order.

Then: count each number.

Last: pick the most.
