Mode

The mode is defined as the most frequently occurring score within a distribution. We could also define the mode as the score in a distribution that occurs most often. Consider the following example:

X
1
2
3
4
4

n the above distribution of five data values, the mode is 4 because 4 occurs twice and all other numbers occur only once each. Now let's alter the distribution:

X
1
3
3
4
4

The second distribution has two 3s and two 4s -- or two modes. Hence, this distribution is described as bi-modal.
