Data sets can be compared by looking at their similarities and differences. This can be done by first calculating an average and a measure of spread for reach.

The mode is the number which occurs most often in a set of data. There can be more than one mode.
Have another look at Kieran's results and find the mode:
\(10, 14, 10, 12, 11, 10, 11, 12, 10, 11, 9, 12\)
Here we can see that the number \(10\) occurs most often, so \(10\) is the mode.
From a frequency table, it is even easier to spot that the mode is \(10\)
