Solution

Solution Steps

To find the mode of a list of numbers, we need to identify the number that appears most frequently in the list.

Step 1: List the number of times each machine needed to be fixed

Given the list of the number of times each machine in a shoe factory needed to be fixed within the last year: \[ 12, 10, 3, 10, 10, 8, 12, 4, 4, 4, 4 \]

Step 2: Count the frequency of each number

We count the frequency of each number in the list: \[ \begin{align_} 12 & : 2 \\ 10 & : 3 \\ 3 & : 1 \\ 8 & : 1 \\ 4 & : 4 \\ \end{align_} \]

Step 3: Identify the mode

The mode is the number that appears most frequently. From the frequency count, we see that the number $4$ appears $4$ times, which is the highest frequency.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{mode} = 4 \text{ repairs}} \]
