Question

The weights of the starting lineup of a football team are as follows (in pounds)
217 235 212 253 233 171 184 301 256 297 247 226 237 241 195 204 197 214 166 309 281 303 309 299
what’s the mode?

Answer 1

To find the mode of the weights listed, we first need to identify which weight appears most frequently in the dataset. Here are the weights provided:

217, 235, 212, 253, 233, 171, 184, 301, 256, 297, 247, 226, 237, 241, 195, 204, 197, 214, 166, 309, 281, 303, 309, 299.

Now, let's tally the occurrences of each weight:

- 166: 1
- 171: 1
- 184: 1
- 195: 1
- 197: 1
- 204: 1
- 212: 1
- 214: 1
- 217: 1
- 226: 1
- 233: 1
- 235: 1
- 237: 1
- 241: 1
- 247: 1
- 253: 1
- 256: 1
- 281: 1
- 297: 1
- 299: 1
- 301: 1
- 303: 1
- 309: 2

From this tally, we see that the weight **309 pounds** appears most frequently, with a count of **2**.

Thus, the mode of the weights is **309 pounds**.
