To find the mode of the weights listed, we first need to identify which weight appears most frequently in the dataset. Here are the weights provided:
217, 235, 212, 253, 233, 171, 184, 301, 256, 297, 247, 226, 237, 241, 195, 204, 197, 214, 166, 309, 281, 303, 309, 299.
Now, let's tally the occurrences of each weight:
- 166: 1
- 171: 1
- 184: 1
- 195: 1
- 197: 1
- 204: 1
- 212: 1
- 214: 1
- 217: 1
- 226: 1
- 233: 1
- 235: 1
- 237: 1
- 241: 1
- 247: 1
- 253: 1
- 256: 1
- 281: 1
- 297: 1
- 299: 1
- 301: 1
- 303: 1
- 309: 2
From this tally, we see that the weight 309 pounds appears most frequently, with a count of 2.
Thus, the mode of the weights is 309 pounds.
