Q. Nate has the following data:\newline17,13,s,1617, 13, s, 16\newlineIf the mode is 1313, which number could ss be?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)(A)1313\newline(B)(B)1616
  1. Given dataset and mode: We are given the dataset: 17,13,s,1617, 13, s, 16 and the mode is 1313. The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a dataset.
  2. Check impact of adding ss: Since 1313 is already in the dataset and is the mode, adding another 1313 will still keep 1313 as the mode. If ss is 1616, then both 1313 and 1616 would appear twice, making both potential modes, which contradicts the information that 1313 is the mode.
  3. Determine value of ss: Therefore, ss must be 1313 to ensure that 1313 remains the single mode of the dataset.
