What is the mode of data? What is the range of data?
### Time Taken to Complete 10 Laps

#### Description:
In track practice, each runner took a certain number of minutes to complete 10 laps. Each runner is represented by an 'x'.

#### Data Representation:
The graph displayed above shows the distribution of times taken by runners to complete 10 laps. The data points are plotted on a horizontal number line starting at 5 minutes and ending at 11 minutes.

#### Graph Analysis:
- **5 minutes:** 2 runners
- **6 minutes:** 3 runners
- **7 minutes:** 3 runners
- **8 minutes:** 5 runners
- **9 minutes:** 2 runners
- **10 minutes:** 2 runners
- **11 minutes:** 1 runner

#### Questions:
1. **What is the mode of the data?**
2. **What is the range of the data?**
   You may use the scratchpad to show your work.

Enter your answers in the provided text boxes. For example, you can enter a number like 7.

#### Example Calculation:
To calculate the mode and range, follow these steps:
- **Mode:** Identify the most frequently occurring time.
- **Range:** Subtract the smallest time from the largest time.
