WHAT IS THE MODE?
Learn it the easy way, then test yourself with this quiz!
The MODE is the number that appears the most times in a set of numbers. It is the easiest measure to find — just look for the number that shows up most often!
A set can have one mode, more than one mode (bimodal), or no mode at all (if every number appears only once).
Tip: You do NOT need to arrange the numbers in order to find the mode. Just count which number appears the most!
COUNT
Count how many times each number appears
PICK THE MOST
The number with the highest count is the MODE
Numbers: 4, 7, 4, 2, 7, 4
Count: 4 appears 3 times, 7 appears 2 times, 2 appears 1 time
The number that appears most is 4
So the MODE is 4!
Numbers: 3, 6, 3, 6, 9
Count: 3 appears 2 times, 6 appears 2 times, 9 appears 1 time
Both 3 and 6 appear the most (tied!)
So the MODES are 3 and 6 (Bimodal)!
