To find the mode of the given data, we need to identify the number that appears most frequently in the list of average days of rain for each month.

Here are the values given for the average number of days of rain:

  • Jan: 6
  • Feb: 7
  • Mar: 10
  • Apr: 10
  • May: 11
  • Jun: 12
  • Jul: 10
  • Aug: 10
  • Sep: 9
  • Oct: 7
  • Nov: 7
  • Dec: 6

Now, we summarize the frequency of each number:

  • 6 appears 2 times
  • 7 appears 3 times
  • 9 appears 1 time
  • 10 appears 4 times
  • 11 appears 1 time
  • 12 appears 1 time

The highest frequency is 4 for the number 10, which means 10 is the mode of this data set.

Thus, the mode of the given data is 10.
