In statistics, what term describes the value that appears most frequently in a dataset?
Answer
Mode
The mode is the value that occurs most often in a dataset. Unlike the mean or median, a dataset can have no mode, one mode, or multiple modes, and it is the only measure of central tendency applicable to categorical data.
💡 Did you know?
A dataset can have two modes (bimodal) or even more — a rare real-world example is human height data, which can appear bimodal when men and women are measured together.
