What happens if there is more than one mode?

If two numbers appear more often than one another (and they occur at the same time), then the data is considered to have two modes. This is known as bimodal. Multimodal data is if 2 exist. If the numbers are repeated the same number of time, the data set does not have any modes.



Can there be more than one mode?

The mode is the most commonly observed value in a set. If no value is more frequent than another mode , there might not be one. You can also have two or three modes (bimodal), or even four or more modes, (trimodal).

If there are multiple modes, then what mode is it? There are three modes, namely 3 and 6. Two modes are called "bimodal". Multimodal refers to having more than one mode.

Another question that might be asked is, "What is the mode of play if there's a tie?"

Calculating the Mode To calculate the mode, add up the number times each number appears within a set. The mode indicates the number that is most frequently found in a set. If there is a tie, a set of data may have more than one mode.

What happens if there is no mode?

A set of data values can have more than one mode. A bimodal set of data value is one that has two most frequent data values. If the data value is not present most often, then we call it bimodal.
