Mode calculator
The mode calculator is used for finding the mode value and range of a data set along with the median and sorted array.
What is the mode?
The mode in mathematics and statistics means the value occurring the most in the dataset. It is possible to have more than one or none mode. It is a term of central tendency while the others are mean and median.
What is the range?
The difference between the highest and lowest data value is the range of that dataset.
How to calculate mode?
There is no formula to calculate the Mode. It is simply observed from the data itself or its graph.
Example:
Identify the mode values from the given data sets. And find their range.
- 1,2,56,7,23,11,1,1,0,3
- 16,16,16,16,17,17,17,15,15,15,15
- 14,10,8,16,22
Solution:
Look for the recurring values.
First set:
There is only one repeated value; 1.
Range = Highest value - Lowest value
= 56 - 0
= 56
Second set:
All values are recurring.
16 = 4 times
17 = 3 times
15 = 4 times
The mode values are 16 and 15.
Range = Highest value - Lowest value
= 17 - 15
= 2
Third set:
No value re-occurred.
Range = Highest value - Lowest value
= 22 - 8
= 14
Graph:
Three groups have value point 3. So 3 is the mode value.
Range = Highest value - Lowest value
= 8 - 3
= 5
