Problem-Solving and Data Analysis practice question

The shoe sizes sold by a shop during one hour were 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 8, 7. What is the mode of these sizes?

Answer: 8

The mode is the value that appears most often. Size 8 appears three times; no other size appears more than twice.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 3
3 is how many times the mode appears, not the mode itself.
If you answered 7
7 appears twice, fewer times than 8.
If you answered 8.14
8.14 is the mean, not the mode.
