If a group reports the number of siblings as 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, what is the MODE?

To determine the mode of a set of numbers, you identify which number appears most frequently in the dataset. In this case, the siblings reported are as follows: 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5.

When examining the frequency of each number:

• 0 appears 1 time

• 1 appears 3 times

• 2 appears 1 time

• 3 appears 2 times

• 4 appears 1 time

• 5 appears 1 time

The number 1 appears more frequently than any other number in this dataset, making it the mode. It is important to note that mode is concerned only with frequency, and in this set, no other number meets or exceeds the count of 1.
