The most frequent number in a sequence is called the 'mode'. For example:1,3,7, 9, 15, 11, 16, 19, 11, 11The mode there would be 11 because that was the number that appeared the most times.
It is called the mode.
Qualitative data is called non numerical e.g hair colore, finding the most common car in a parking lot
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.
The mode is the data value that occurs the most number of times. If there are two data values that occur the most, then you will have 2 modes and it is called bimodal. Three or more is called multimodal. For example, if you have a set of numbers - 1, 4, 3, 2, 6, 4, 8, 4, 7, 3, 5. The mode is 4 as it occurs the most number of times.
