two situations where mode would be an appropriate representative value to use.

Answer
Case I We can understand it by the following cases Let the numbers be $2,3,4,5,0,1,3,3,4$ and 3.
Arranging the numbers in ascending order, we have
$
0,1,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,5
$
Here, 3 occurs most frequently ( 4 times).
$\therefore$ Mode $=3$
Case II Let the numbers be $41,39,48,52,46,62,54$, $40,96,52,98,40,42,52$ and 60.
Arranging the data in descending order, we have $98,96,62,60,54,52,52,52,48,46,42,41,40,40,39$
Here, 52 occurs most frequently ( 3 times).
$\therefore$ Mode $=52$
Hence, it is clear that mode would be an appropriate representative value to use.
