*The next 7 questions will use the following data. Some of the questions are examples of extra credit and some will be regular credit.*

Students in a class were given a quiz. These were their scores:

10   4    8    7    5    7    6    7    9    3    6

What is the mode for these students' quiz scores?
 

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

In this case, the students' quiz scores are:

10, 4, 8, 7, 5, 7, 6, 7, 9, 3, 6

The score "7" appears three times, which is more frequent than any other score.

Thus, the mode of the quiz scores is **7**.

Would you like more details on how to calculate the mode, or do you have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:
1. What is the median of these quiz scores?
2. What is the mean (average) of these quiz scores?
3. What is the range of the students' quiz scores?
4. How would the mode change if another student scored a 7?
5. What happens to the mode if one of the 7's is replaced with a different score?

**Tip:** The mode is helpful in identifying the most common value in a dataset, but it is not always unique—sometimes there can be more than one mode (multimodal distribution).

What is the mode for these students' quiz scores? 10, 4, 8, 7, 5, 7, 6, 7, 9, 3, 6.

Discover how to find the mode in a set of students' quiz scores: 10, 4, 8, 7, 5, 7, 6, 7, 9, 3, 6. Learn about the statistical concept of mode and why '7' is the most frequent score. Ideal for students in Grades 6-8.
