To find the mode of a data set, you need to determine which value appears most frequently. Let's take a detailed look at the given data table that shows the number of eggs laid by individual chickens:
[tex]\[
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ Chicken ID } & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{ Number of eggs } \\
\hline
A01 & 234 \\
\hline
B01 & 229 \\
\hline
C01 & 235 \\
\hline
D01 & 231 \\
\hline
E01 & 229 \\
\hline
F01 & 222 \\
\hline
G01 & 262 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\][/tex]
Let's list out all the values for clarity:
234, 229, 235, 231, 229, 222, 262
Next, we count how many times each number appears in the list:
- 234 appears 1 time
- 229 appears 2 times
- 235 appears 1 time
- 231 appears 1 time
- 222 appears 1 time
- 262 appears 1 time
We can see that the number 229 appears more frequently than any other number, with a frequency of 2.
Therefore, the mode of the data set is:
229
