Give the mode of the following data set:
The set has four modes: 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The set has no mode.
The element 6 appears four times, more frequently than any other element, and is therefore the (only) mode.

Example Question #2 : Mode
What is the mode of this set of numbers?
In a set, the mode is the number that appears most frequently.
The number 232 is the number that appears most frequently because is the only number that appears twice. Therefore, it is the mode.
Example Question #8 : How To Find Mode
Over the past five days, John has run the following number of miles:
If M is equal to the mode, R is equal to the median, and J is equal to the mean, what is the order of M, R, and J from smallest to largest?
The first step is to reorder the set in order from smallest to largest.
The mode (which occurs most often) is 3, so .
The median (which is the middle number in the set) is , so .
The mean (or average) is ,
so
Therefore, .
