 • Mode is defined as the score with the highest
frequency. The most frequent score. It is called a
MODE nominal statistics. In a grouped data it is the mid point
of the class interval with the highest frequency.
 • 1 . A nominal statistics.
• 2 . An inspection average.
• 3. The most frequently occurring score.
CHARACTERISTIC • 4 . Usually occurs near the center of the distribution.
S OF THE MODE • 5 . Cannot be obtained by mathematical operations.
• 6 . The most popular scores.
• 7 . Some distribution have more than one popular
score.
 • 1. When a quick and approximate measure of central
tendency is all that wanted.
• 2. When the measure of central tendency is the most
typical value.
WHEN TO USE
• Finding the Mode for ungrouped data.
THE MODE
• Just pick out the most occurring scores. 67, 89, 76, 77,
90, 78, 77, 86, 84, 75
• 77 is the mode it is called unimodal. A unimodal is as
score distribution which contain one mode.
• 2. 54, 45, 78,34,89, 45, 54
• 54 and 45 are the mode. It is called bimodal . A bimodal has two most frequent scores
occurring. A score with three most frequent score is called trimodal.
 Formula:
Mode= X =Ll+ (∆ 1 ) ci

∆1+∆2

where; Mo = mode
FINDING THE Ll =lower limit of the class interval with the highest frequency
MODE FOR ∆ 1 = highest frequency minus the frequency before the modal class
GROUPED DATA ∆ 2 = highest frequency minus the frequency after the modal class

FORMULA: Steps:

1. Prepare a table containing the class interval, frequency .

2. Compute for ∆1 and ∆2.

3. Substitute data to the formula.

 • 1. The table reveals that the lower limit of the class
interval with the highest frequency is 25.5.
• 2. Compute for ∆1 and ∆2. ∆ 1 = 12 -6 = 6 ; ∆ 2 = 12 -
6=6
• 3. Substitute data to formula
SOLUTION: • X= (∆1) ci
• ∆1+ ∆2
• X=25.5+ (6) 3
• 6+6
• =27
 • The modal class is computed to be 27. This was
INTERPRETATION found to be lower than the computed mean and
median which were found to be both 30. This
S: indicate that majority of the students were found
below the mean and median.
