Mode of Ungrouped Data

Mode of Ungrouped Data:

Mode of an ungrouped data is equal to the most frequent observation in the data. Data can consists of more than one mode also. An observation occurring most frequently in the data is called mode of the data. It is denoted by Z. The mode of a set of observations is the observation that occurs most often.

Thus, mode of a frequency distribution is that value of the variable which has maximum frequency.

For the computation of mode of an ungrouped data by inspection method, we may use the following algorithm:

Algorithm:

Step 1: Obtain the set of observations.

Step 2: Count the number of times the various values repeat themselves. In other words, prepare the frequency distribution.

Step 3:  Find the value which occurs the maximum number of times i.e., obtain the value which has the maximum frequency.

Step 4: The value obtained in step III is the mode.
