Question 684356: Give an instance where the mode would be more useful to know than the median.

It is important for a shoe manufacturer to use the mode and manufacture more
shoes in the most popular size because if they just made more of the median
shoe size, or the mean shoe size, doing so would likely cause a shortage of
some sizes of shoes and an oversupply of other sizes.
