Answer :


The mode is the number that is repeated the most. First lets put the numbers in order.

3, 4, 5,  8, 8,  11, 12, 15,  23, 27, 38 

Now it's much easier to see that 8 is the only number that is repeated so the mode is 8.

Hope this helps. :)


Mode: the number that appears the most in a set of numbers.

Although it's optional, I always like to put the numbers in order from least to greatest because it makes it easier to find what number appears the most.

Least to greatest:

3 - 4 - 5 - 8 - 8 - 11 - 12 - 15 - 23 - 27 - 38

When we look at the set of numbers, we can see that the number that occurs the most is 8. The number 8 occurs more than any other number in the set of numbers. Therefore, the mode for this set of numbers is 8.
