Mode

The most frequent value in a given set of values is called as the 'mode'.

For a given set of values, mode may not be a single value. It cannot be calculated arithmetically and one has to compare all the values to obtain the modal value. It only tells us about the most frequent value and does not take into account the remaining values or their frequencies.
