How to Calculate the Mode of a Data Set

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a dataset, offering insights into the most common trend or preference. To find the mode, simply count how often each value appears. If one number stands out as having the highest frequency, that is your mode; if multiple values share the same highest frequency, the set can have multiple modes. For example, in [4, 4, 7, 10, 10, 10, 12], the mode is 10 because it appears three times. In real-world contexts, mode calculations apply to sales data (the most popular product), hospital records (the most common blood group), or social surveys (the most frequent response). Knowing the mode helps you pinpoint dominant choices or outcomes in varied scenarios.
