The temperatures in a city in Fahrenheit on 20 different days is shown below. Find the mode of the temperatures.
37°, 40°, 42°, 38°, 39°, 40°, 42°, 45°, 37°, 43°, 45°, 43°, 44°, 45°, 42°, 43°, 44°, 42°, 40°, 41°

Solution

Let us write the temperatures below.
37°F, 40°F, 42°F, 38°F, 39°F, 40°F, 42°F, 45°F, 37°F, 43°F, 45°F, 43°F, 44°F, 45°F, 42°F, 43°F, 44°F, 42°F, 40°F, 41°F

The mode of the temperatures is the temperature reading that occurs most frequently.

Temperature ( $^{\circ} F$ ) Frequency

37 2

40 3

42 4

44 2

45 3

Since 42°F occurs the maximum number of times, i.e., 4, it is the mode.
