Answer:

B. mode

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set for the number of skips every time Jake skipped a stone onto a pond:

3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 5, 4, 1, 3, 3, 4, 1, 5, 4, 2

It is a good idea to arrange the data set into ascending order just to be more clear about it:

1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5

To find the most common number of skips, Jake should use a measure called mode which tells us about the value that appears most often, which in this case is 3.
