The correct Answer is:
To determine if there is more than one mode in the given weights of 15 students, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: List the Weights The weights of the 15 students are: 38, 42, 35, 37, 45, 50, 32, 43, 43, 40, 36, 38, 43, 38, 47 ### Step 2: Arrange the Weights in Ascending Order We will sort the weights in ascending order to easily identify the frequency of each weight: 32, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 38, 40, 42, 43, 43, 43, 45, 47, 50 ### Step 3: Count the Frequency of Each Weight Next, we will count how many times each weight appears in the sorted list: - 32: 1 time - 35: 1 time - 36: 1 time - 37: 1 time - 38: 3 times - 40: 1 time - 42: 1 time - 43: 3 times - 45: 1 time - 47: 1 time - 50: 1 time ### Step 4: Identify the Mode The mode is the value(s) that appear most frequently. From our frequency count: - 38 appears 3 times - 43 appears 3 times ### Step 5: Determine if There is More Than One Mode Since both 38 and 43 appear the most frequently (3 times each), we conclude that there is more than one mode. ### Final Answer Yes, there is more than one mode in the given data. ---
