The mode is the most common value in a set of data.
A set of data may not have a mode (for example, if each value is listed once, then there is no mode since no one value is more common than another), or a set of data may have more than one mode (for example, if there are 3 different values that are each listed 5 times in a set of data, then each value is a mode).
Example (no mode): {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} no mode
Example (1 mode): {1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5} mode is 1
Example (more than 1 mode): {1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5} modes are 1 and 4
Example (more than 1 mode): {1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5} modes are 1, 2, 4, 5

Tell when a set of data can have no mode?
A set of data has no mode when there is no number that occurs more frequently than another. The data set: 1, 2, 5, 5, 6 has a mode of 5. The data set: 1, 2, 3 has no mode.
What does mode for the set of data mean?
The mode of the data is the number which occurs most frequently in the given set of data.
Why will a set of data not always have a mode?
A set of data will not always have a mode because some data sets will not have a number that occurs more than once.
How does someone find out what the mode of the data is?
The mode in a set of data is the number that occurs most often.
Can the mode and median for a data set be the same or different?
mode-the most (highest # in a set of data) median-the middle # when you put a set of data in order from least to greatest let's take for example a reasonable set of 10,3,4,5,7,5,9 3,4,5,5,7,9,10 3,4,5,5,7,9,10 and than your mode 5 because there was two 5's so YES IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE THE SAME MEDIAN AND MODE FOR ONE SET OF DATA DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT SET OF DATA IS
