Answer:
a) 10
b) 6
Step-by-step explanation:
From observation of the given bar chart, the number of male and female seals at each beach is:
Beach A: Male = 14, Female = 4
Beach B: Male = 8, Female = 10
Beach C: Male = 6, Female = 16
Beach D: Male = 6, Female = 10
Beach E: Male = 2, Female = 6
Beach F: Male = 10, Female = 6
Beach G: Male = 8, Female = 2
Beach H: Male = 6, Female = 10
The modal number of seals refers to the most frequently occurring quantity of seals.
Part a)
The frequencies of female seals across the beaches are:
4, 10, 16, 10, 6, 6, 2, and 10.
The most frequent quantity of female seals is 10, so the modal number of female seals is 10.
Part b)
The frequencies of male seals across the beaches are:
14, 8, 6, 6, 2, 10, 8 and 6.
The most frequent quantity of male seals is 6, so the modal number of male seals is 6.
