Example data: Shoe sizes of 20 students
6, 7, 8, 6, 7, 9, 8, 7, 6, 8, 7, 9, 6, 8, 7, 6, 8, 9, 7, 8
| Shoe Size | Tally | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | |||| | 5 |
| 7 | |||| | | 6 |
| 8 | |||| | | 6 |
| 9 | ||| | 3 |
| Total | - | 20 |
Key observations:
- Mode = 7 and 8 (both appear 6 times) - bimodal
