Statistical Mode

Statistical Mode: Learn

The statistical mode is the number that occurs most frequently in a set of numbers.

It is a common measure of central tendency, along with median and mean.

To find the mode of a group of numbers:

  • Arrange the numbers in order by size.
  • Determine the number of instances of each numerical value.
  • The numerical value that has the most instances is the mode.
  • There may be more than one mode when two or more numbers have an equal number of instances.
  • A mode does not exist if no number has more than one instance.

Examples:

The mode of the numbers 1, 2, 6, 6, 7 and 9 is 6

There is no mode of the numbers 1, 2, 6, 7 and 9.

The mode of the numbers 1, 2, 2, 6, 6, 7 and 9 is 6 and 2
