A bi-modal data set is a data set that has two modes. In the data set 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5 the mode is 2 AND 4. So it is a bi-modal data set. Hope that helps.
Modal length refers to the most frequently occurring value in a set of data. In statistics, it is one of the measures of central tendency, alongside the mean and median. A dataset can be unimodal (one mode), bimodal (two modes), or multimodal (multiple modes), indicating how many values appear with the highest frequency. Understanding modal length helps identify the common characteristics or trends within the data.
The answer depends on the type of distribution for the data. It could be the modal class.
The mode is the only one of these measure which can be used with qualitative data: the mean or median are impossible to compute. Also, for a data set consisting of a relatively small number of observations of a discrete variable the mode or modal class is the easiest to find.
If you have a set of individual observations, the mode is the observation that occurs the most often.However, with very large sets, you may wish to group the data into classes. In that case, the class with the largest frequency is the modal class.The modal class need not contain the mode. Also, the modal class depends on how the classes are defined.
