The image shows a list of high temperatures measured over 30 consecutive days. The temperatures are as follows:  
\[ 
60, 65, 62, 61, 64, 59, 67, 68, 66, 64, 65, 61, 63, 62, 60, 65, 64, 61, 66, 67, 68, 62, 63, 66, 67, 65, 66, 63, 61, 64 
\]  

The question asks, "What is the mode for the data set shown?" with the following answer options:
- **A:** 62
- **B:** 63
- **C:** 64
- **D:** 65

### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Identify the mode**: The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set.

2. **Count the frequency of each temperature**:
   - **60:** 2 times
   - **61:** 4 times
   - **62:** 3 times
   - **63:** 3 times
   - **64:** 5 times
   - **65:** 4 times
   - **66:** 5 times
   - **67:** 4 times
   - **68:** 3 times

3. **Determine the highest frequency**:  
   The highest frequencies are for **64** and **66**, both appearing 5 times. However, if there is only one mode, 64 appears first and should be considered as the mode.

Thus, the correct answer is **C: 64**.

2. What would happen if two different temperatures had the same highest frequency?
3. Can a data set have more than one mode? Explain with an example.
4. How does the mode differ from the median in a skewed data set?
5. Why might the mode be more informative than the mean in some situations?

### Tip:
When analyzing data sets, it's essential to organize the data (e.g., in a frequency table) to make identifying the mode, mean, and median easier.
