To find the mode of the number of siblings for the 6th graders in Kaylen's survey, we first identify how many students reported each number of siblings based on the data provided:

  • 0 siblings: 3 students
  • 1 sibling: 12 students
  • 2 siblings: 5 students
  • 3 siblings: 2 students
  • 4 siblings: 0 students
  • 5 siblings: 2 students

The mode is the number that appears most frequently in the data set.

From the data, we can see that:

  • 0 siblings appears 3 times,
  • 1 sibling appears 12 times,
  • 2 siblings appears 5 times,
  • 3 siblings appears 2 times,
  • 4 siblings appears 0 times,
  • 5 siblings appears 2 times.

The highest frequency is for 1 sibling, which appears 12 times.

Thus, the mode of the number of siblings for the 6th graders that Kaylen surveyed is 1 sibling.
