Weegy: The mode of a set of data is the value in the set that occurs most often.
In the problem above, 18 is the mode. It is easy to remember the definition of a mode since it has the word most in it. The words mode and most both start with the letters mo. [ Let's look at some more examples.
Example 1: The following is the number of problems that Ms. Matty assigned for homework on 10 different days. What is the mode? [IMAGE]
8, 11, 9, 14, 9, 15, 18, 6, 9, 10
Solution: Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:
6, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 11 14, 15, 18
Answer: The mode is 9. ]
(More) 3
If all measurements in a dataset are unique, there is no mode since the mode represents the value that appears most frequently. In such cases, the dataset does not have a mode, and the term "no mode" or "no unique mode" can be used to describe the absence of a mode.
