The mode of a set of observations is the value that occurs most frequently in the set. A set of observations may have no mode, one mode or more than one mode.
Example:
Find the mode of the following set of scores.
14 11 15 9 11 15 11 7 13 12
Solution:
The mode is 11 because 11 occurred more times than the other numbers
If the observations are given in the form of a frequency table, the mode is the value that has the highest frequency.
Note: You can have no mode if numbers appear an equal amount of times.
