The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set. In the survey results you provided:
- 14 years old: 15%
- 15 years old: 50%
- 16 years old: 20%
- 17 years old: 15%
Since 15 years old has the highest percentage (50%), the mode for the ages in this data set is **15**.
So, the correct response is:
**15**
- 14 years old: 15%
- 15 years old: 50%
- 16 years old: 20%
- 17 years old: 15%
Since 15 years old has the highest percentage (50%), the mode for the ages in this data set is **15**.
So, the correct response is:
**15**
