- In Statistics, the mode is the value that occurs the most frequently in a Data Set or a Probability Distribution. In some fields, notably education, sample data are often called scores, and the sample mode is known as the modal score.
- Like the statistical Mean and the Median, the mode is a way of capturing important information about a Random Variable or a population in a single quantity. The mode is in generally different from the mean and median, and may be very different for strongly skewed distributions.
- The mode is not necessarily unique, since the same maximum frequency may be attained at different values. The most ambiguous case occurs in uniform distributions, wherein all values are equally likely.
