D.

because median.

Answer 3

You're right -- but the mode has nothing to do with the median.

The number which appears most often in a set of numbers. Example: in {6, 3, 9, 6, 6, 5, 9, 3} the Mode is 6 (it occurs most often).

Answer 10

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the mode of a set of data, you need to determine which value appears most frequently.

In this case, the set of weights is: 16, 17, 13, 12, 20.

To identify the mode, count the frequency of each value:

- 16 appears once
- 17 appears once
- 13 appears once
- 12 appears once
- 20 appears once

Since each value appears only once, there is no value that appears more frequently than others. Therefore, the mode of this set of data is D. no mode in this problem.
