Answer 1

The mode is simply the number which appears most often. Finding the Mode. To find the mode, or modal value, first put the numbers in order, then count how many of each number. This makes it easy to see which numbers appear most often. Also, in case you didn't realize, this is the history section :P This question best belongs in the Mathematics Section :D
