Mode

Definition

The Mode value is the value that appears the most number of times.

Example

Step 1

Let’s say you have the following set of numbers:

3, 5, 6, 2, 5, 3, 7, 5, 4, 5

Step 2

Let’s organize the data in ascending order:

2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7

Step 3

Next, count the frequency of each value:

2 appears once
3 appears twice
4 appears once
5 appears four times
6 appears once
7 appears once

Step 4

In this example, the number 5 appears the most frequently (four times), so the mode of this data set is 5.

Python

Use the SciPy mode() method to find the number that appears the most:

from scipy import stats

number = [2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7]

md = stats.mode(number)

print(md)
