To find the mode of the life spans of the farm animals, we need to identify which lifespan occurs most frequently in the provided data.
The lifespans you've given for each farm animal are:
- Chicken: 7 years
- Duck: 10 years
- Horse: 22 years
- Pig: 10 years
- Sheep: 12 years
- Cow: 10 years
- Goat: 12 years
Now, let's tally the occurrences:
- 7 years: 1 occurrence (Chicken)
- 10 years: 3 occurrences (Duck, Pig, Cow)
- 12 years: 2 occurrences (Sheep, Goat)
- 22 years: 1 occurrence (Horse)
From this tally, we see that the lifespan of 10 years occurs the most frequently (3 times).
Thus, the mode of the life spans of the farm animals is 10 years.
