The data 9, 11, 13, 13, 15, 17 has its mode equal to 13. A new observation x is added so that the mode stays 13 and remains the only mode. Which value of x keeps 13 as the unique mode?

Question

Accepted Answer

13. Currently 13 occurs twice. Adding another 13 makes it occur 3 times (clearly the unique mode). Adding 11, 15, or 17 would tie that value with 13 at 2 each, creating two modes.

The data 9, 11, 13, 13, 15, 17 has its mode equal to 13.
A new observation $x$ is added so that the mode stays 13 and remains the only mode.
Which value of $x$ keeps 13 as the unique mode?
