Median[1]

The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a dataset and can be unimodal, bimodal, or multimodal. It is applicable to both qualitative and quantitative data, does not require sorting, and is less sensitive to outliers compared to the mean. While simple to calculate and useful for identifying common values, the mode may not represent the data well in certain distributions and is less informative when there is no clear mode.

MODE

Presented by: Nabila Zia


•It divides the dataset into two equal halves.
•It is a positional average.

Introduction

• The mode refers to the value that appears most


frequent value of a dataset when arranged in
ascending or descending order.

• Uni-modal: A data set with only one mode (one


value that appears most frequently).

• Bi-modal: A data set with two modes (two values


that appear with the highest frequency).

• Multi-modal: A data set with more than two modes


(multiple values that appear with the same highest
frequency).

• No Mode: If no value repeats, the data set is


considered to have no mode.
Characteristics
• Applicable to Any Type of Data: The mode can be used with both
qualitative (categorical) and quantitative (numerical) data. For example, in
categorical data like colors or brands, the mode is the category that occurs
the most.
• Does Not Require Sorting: Unlike the mean or median, the mode doesn't
require sorting the data, making it easier to identify in smaller data sets.
• Sensitivity to Outliers: The mode is less sensitive to extreme values or
outliers than the mean, because it depends only on the frequency of
values, not their magnitude.
• Less Reliable in Some Distributions: For highly variable or uniform
distributions, the mode may not provide much insight, especially if there is
no clear peak in the data.
EXAMPLES
• EXAMPLE 1:
• DATASET: 2,4,4,6,7,8
• MODE: 4 (unimodal )
• EXAMPLE 2:
• DATASET: 3,3,6,6,7,8
• MODE: 3 and 6 ( bimodal )
• EXAMPLE 3:
• DATASET: 1,2,3,4,5
• MODE: None ( No mode )
EXAMPLES
Mode for Categorical Data

• DATASET: ["Red", "Blue", "Red", "Green", "Red"]

• MODE: "Red“ Explanation: The color "Red" appears the most frequently (3 times), so it is the mode of this categorical
data set.6.

Mode in Continuous Data

• DATASET: [150.5, 152.5, 150.5, 160.0, 150.5]

• Mode: 150.5 Explanation: The value 150.5 appears the most frequently (3 times), so it is the mode for this set of
continuous data (e.g., heights).

Mode is Less Sensitive to Outliers

• DATASET: [2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 100]

• Mode: 4 Explanation: Even though there is an outlier (100), the mode is still 4 because it's the most frequent value,
showing that the mode is not greatly affected by outliers.
When is it used?

• QUALITATIVE DATA: (colors,


categories etc. ) Mode is often
used when dealing with non-
numeric data.
• NOMINAL AND ORDINAL DATA:
Mode is useful because it
identifies the most frequent
category
• UNEVEN DISTRIBUTIONS: When
the data is skewed, and other
measures like the mean don’t
represent the typical value well.
