Some teachers compared how many students are in their classes. What is the mode of the numbers?
Teacher | Number of students
Mrs. King | 30
Miss Jones | 29
Mr. Clay | 29
Mrs. Novak | 30
Mrs. Truman | 30
Read the numbers from the table.

30, 29, 29, 30, 30

First, arrange the numbers from least to greatest:

29, 29, 30, 30, 30

Now count how many times each number appears.

29 appears 2 times.
30 appears 3 times.

The number that appears most often is 30.

The mode is 30.
