What this calculator does
The mode is the value that occurs most often. Data can have one mode, several, or none.
Formula and method
Count each value’s frequency; the mode(s) are the values with the highest count.
Worked example
Calculated by this tool with its default inputs:
Inputs
- Numbers (separated by commas, spaces or new lines): 3, 7, 7, 2, 9, 3, 7, 3
Results
- Mode: 3, 7
- Times it appears: 3
- Type: Bimodal
How to read the results
The mode is the only average that works for categorical data.
Assumptions and limitations
- If every value appears once, there is no mode.
Questions
Can there be more than one mode?
Yes — two modes is bimodal, more is multimodal.
