What is Statistical Mode?

The statistical mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. It represents the most common or popular value in your data collection. Unlike mean and median, the mode can be applied to both numerical and categorical data, making it a versatile measure of central tendency.

In statistical analysis, the mode helps identify the most typical value in your dataset. For example, if you're analyzing customer ages, product ratings, or survey responses, the mode reveals which value occurs most often, providing valuable insights into patterns and trends.

Types of Modal Distributions

Datasets can have different modal characteristics:

Unimodal: Has exactly one mode (one value appears most frequently)
Bimodal: Has exactly two modes (two values tie for highest frequency)
Multimodal: Has more than two modes (multiple values share the highest frequency)
No Mode: All values appear with equal frequency
