0In statistics, the mode is the value that appears most frequently in a set of data. For grouped data, the mode is estimated using a specific formula, while for ungrouped data, it's simply the value with the highest frequency.
For Ungrouped Data:
- Definition: The mode is the value that occurs most often in the dataset.
- Example: In the dataset {2, 3, 5, 5, 6, 7}, the mode is 5 because it appears twice, which is more than any other number.
- Special Cases:
- No Mode: If all values appear only once, there is no mode.
- Multiple Modes: If multiple values have the same highest frequency, the dataset can have multiple modes (bimodal, trimodal, etc.).
