A survey was conducted to find the number of hours students spend studying per day. The data collected from 7 students are: 2, 3, 4, 2, 5, 2, 3. Find the average number of hours spent and the mode.

Step 1 ：Step 1: To find the average, add up all the numbers and then divide by the total count. In this case, \(\frac{2+3+4+2+5+2+3}{7} = \frac{21}{7} = 3\)

Step 2 ：Step 2: To find the mode, identify the number that appears most frequently. In this case, the number 2 appears 3 times, which is more than any other number.
