The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set. It represents the peak of a distribution. There are several ways to calculate the mode depending on if the data is in an individual observation, discrete series, or continuous series. For a continuous series, the modal class is identified which has the highest frequency, and a formula is applied using the lower limit of that class, and the frequencies of the modal, preceding, and succeeding classes. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating the mode for different data presentations.
