If you had a set of numbers like this -
4, 6, 8, 1, 3, 4, 4, 4, 1, 7, 1, 6, 1,
... and you were asked to find the mode (the most frequently occurring value in a set of data)
then you would find that numbers 1 and 4 would BOTH be the mode because they both occur the most, yet they occur the same amount of times each.
So in this case you would simply end up with two different modes.
For this reason using the mode to find the average of a set of data is not always as reliable as using the median or the mean because with them you can have only one answer per data set.
How to find the Median :
For example these are YOUR numbers.
4,6,8,1,3,4,4,4,1,7,1,6,1
1) Find your two middle numbers.
2) Are they even ? ( if so add them (......) then what ever you get your answer by divide your answer by TWO.)
The two MIDDLE numbers are 4 AND 4.
3) I ADD 4 + 4.( = 8 )
4) 8 Divided by TWO.( = 4 )
THAT'S HOW YOU GET YOU MEADIAN !!!!
HOPEFULLY YOU UNDERSTAND * GOOD LUCK*
For example here is a set of numbers 3,4,2,4,3,3,4,7,4,3,4
you would go with four because it has more numbers occurring than three.
I would just like to add that it is helpful to put the numbers in order from least to greatest.

What does bimodal mean?
It means it has two modes.
What is a data set with two modes is called ...?
It is called bimodal.
Multiple values for the same set of numbers mean median or mode?
Any set of numbers can have only one mean and only one median but it can have as many modes as it has values.
Which two numbers have a mode of 10 and a range of 8?
The modes is the number which occurs most often. The range is the biggest number - the smallest number. The only way to have a mode of 10 and a range of 8, is to have the two numbers be 10 and 2. The numbers are different so each is a mode and the range is 10-2-8. Note, 2 is also a mode in the set {2,10}.
Can there be more than 2 modes in a data set?
Yes there can be more than 2 modes in a data set. It is called multimodal.
What if you have two modes in a set of numbers what will be the mode?
I think you add both numbers and divide it by 2...
What is being bimodal in algebra?
bimodal is having two modes and if you can recall the mode is the number that appears most often, so that means that a bimodal set of numbers has two modes. ex. 9,5,9,7,1,5,6 this set of numbers is bimodal with a mode of 5 and 9.
Can there be 2 modes in a data set?
There can be two modes in a data set. For example, in the data set {0,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,9}, there are two modes: 3 and 5.
What are modes in math?
Modes are the number that occurs most often in a set of numbers.
Can a set of data have two modes?
Yes, a set of data can have two modes. It is called bimodal.
What do you do when you have three modes and they're each two numbers?
If you have 3 modes, write down the three as your answer. If the mode has two numbers, just write one of the numbers down.Repeat on the other two modes.
What does bimodal mean?
It means it has two modes.
How do you find the mode in a set of numbers?
List them all, and count up the number of times each appears. the mode (or modes) is/are the number(s) that occur most often in the set. there might be one mode or two, or all members might be modes.
What if the mode has lots of numbers that occur?
Then there are many modes (the set of data is multimodal).
What is a data set with two modes is called ...?
It is called bimodal.
What Do You Call A Data Set With Two Modes?
A bimodal distribution.
What is the mode if two numbers appear twice?
If two numbers each appear twice in a dataset, the mode is considered to be bimodal, meaning that there are two modes. In this case, both numbers are equally frequent, making them the most common values in the dataset. For example, if the numbers are 3 and 5, then both 3 and 5 are the modes.
