Calculate Mode of Numbers

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. Unlike mean and median, the mode can be applied to all types of data (numerical, categorical, ordinal) and provides insight into the most common or popular values.

Types of Modal Distributions:

• No Mode: All values appear with equal frequency (uniform distribution)
• Unimodal: One value appears more frequently than others
• Bimodal: Two values share the highest frequency
• Multimodal: Multiple values share the highest frequency
• Applications: Quality control, market research, survey analysis
• Advantage: Not affected by extreme outliers like mean

The mode is particularly useful for categorical data, finding peak values in histograms, and identifying the most common outcomes in experiments or surveys.
