How Do You Find the Mode of a Data Set When There is More Than One Mode?

The mode is the number that occurs most frequently in a set of numbers
It will make it much easier to find the mode of this set if we first order it from least to greatest
After writing a number from the set, check it off the list so we know that we've accounted for it
Now we can count how many times each number occurs to find the mode
Both 63 and 67 occur more times than the other numbers
Since they occur the same number of times, we have two modes

1. If our numbers are in order, then numbers that are the same will be next to each other
2. That will make it really easy to find the mode!
1. Remember, the mode is the number that occurs the most often in the data set
2. If we count how many times each number occurs, then we'll be able to tell which one occurs the most!
1. 61, 62, 66, 68, and 70 each occur once
2. 63 and 67 both occur twice in the data set
1. Remember, the mode is the number that occurs the most often in the data set
1. 63 and 67 both appear twice in the data set, while all of the other numbers only appear once
1. 63 and 67 both appear more than any of the other numbers
2. Since they both appear the same number of times, they are both the modes!
1. If ALL the numbers were the same there would be no mode, since no number would occur more frequently than the others
2. But here since there are two numbers that occur more often than all the others, there are two modes

Find the mode of this data set: 63, 62, 66, 67, 63, 70, 67, 68, 61
