Mode
Mode is a number which occur or appears most often or frequently in a set of numbers. It is that value which has the highest frequency. It is denoted by M0.
Calculation of Mode in:
Individual series
In an individual series, mode can be found in by inspection. If the value occurring maximum number of times, then that is a modal value.
For example, 1,2,14,3,3,5,2,3
| Variable | No. of occurence |
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 1 |
| 5 | 1 |
In the above table, a variable value 3 repeats maximum number of times i.e. 3
\(\therefore\) Mode (M0) = 3
Discrete Series
In case of discrete series also, mode can be obtained by inspection only. Mode occurs with maximum frequency . For example,
| No. of student | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| Marks | 10 | 20 | 30 | 15 | 25 |
Here, maximum frequency os 30. So, corresponding modal size is 6.
