In statistics, the ''mode'' of a set of numbers is the '''number that appears most often in the set'''. A data set does not necessarily have to have only one mode - if two or more values are "tied" for being the most common, the set can be said to be ''bimodal'' or ''multimodal'', respectively - in other words, all of the most-common values are the set's modes. For a detailed look at the process of determining a data set's mode(s), see Step 1 below to get started. | In statistics, the ''mode'' of a set of numbers is the '''number that appears most often in the set'''.
