         Measures of Central Tendency–Mode

           The mode of a set of measurements is defined
           to be the measurement that occur most often
           (with the highest frequency).

              ◉ The most frequent value.
              ◉ Large number of values necessary.
              ◉ It is possible to have two or more modes.
