centerpieces

1 answer

To calculate the mode of the number of centerpieces assembled, we will first list the number of centerpieces from Karen's past 8 days:

  • 6, 7, 3, 3, 2, 2, 5, 3

Next, we will count the frequency of each number:

  • 2: appears 2 times
  • 3: appears 3 times
  • 5: appears 1 time
  • 6: appears 1 time
  • 7: appears 1 time

The mode is the number that appears most frequently.

In this case, 3 appears the most frequently (3 times).

Therefore, the mode of the number of centerpieces assembled is 3 centerpieces.
