In statistical analysis, the term 'mode' denotes the number that appears most often within a data set. The procedure to determine the mode involves listing down all the numbers within the data set and tallying the occurrence of each. The number that registers the highest frequency of occurrence is regarded as the mode. It is noteworthy that a data set can exhibit one, several, or even zero modes.
