question

Hunter asked his friends how much their cats weigh. He recorded their answers in a frequency table.

Weight of cats
Weight in pounds	Frequency
8	2
9	3
10	1
11	0
12	4
13	2

What is the most common weight?

pounds

solution

The numbers in the frequency column tell you how many cats weigh each amount. The most common weight is the one with the greatest frequency.

Weight of cats
Weight in pounds	Frequency
8	2
9	3
10	1
11	0
12	4
13	2

The greatest frequency is 4. In that row, the weight is 12. So, the most common weight is 12 pounds.
