Mean, median, and mode are values that are commonly used in basic statistics and in everyday math. Though you can find each value pretty easily, it's also easy to mix them up. Read on to learn how to compute each value for a set of data. | Mean, median, and mode are values that are commonly used in basic statistics and in everyday math.

#Find the number that occurs the most. Think: "Mode is most." In this example, the number 5 occurs the most, so that is the mode. If there are two numbers that occur the most, then that set is "bimodal," and if more than two numbers occur the most, then the set is "multi-modal." | #Find the number that occurs the most.
