Yes. here is an example: The mode is the most frequent subject that appears in a set of data. So if the data was 2, 5, 5, 7, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13. The mode would be 10 because it appears the most. The mode can be categorical and numerical. I have already proven that the mode can be numerical in the sentences above. For an example of categorical data, say I surveyed some people about what their favorite food was and this was the data: Pizza, pizza, pizza, ice cream, ice cream, strawberries, strawberries, Oranges, spaghetti. The mode would have been pizza.
