About this calculator

The mode is the most-frequent value in a dataset. It's the only "average" that works for categorical data ("most popular shoe size", "most-ordered menu item"). A dataset can be unimodal (one mode), bimodal (two), or multimodal — and if every value is unique, there's no mode.

Frequently asked

Yes — if every value appears exactly once.
