The mode is the number with the highest frequency. If there are no numbers with frequency of 2 or higher, the mode is all the numbers with the frequency of 1, i.e. the entire set of numbers - in your case, 1, 3, 5, 6, 9

The mode(s) is (are) the value(s) that occur(s) the most. The most any value appears is:
once
So every number that occurs once is a mode.
Hence, the modes are 1, 3, 5, 6 and 9.

In this case, all the numbers are the mode, since they all appear once.

The mode is the value that occurs most often. The mode is the only average that can have more than one value. When finding the mode, it helps to order the numbers first.

mode is the number, or generally speakind an event, which appears with most frequency. So when you have a set of {1,3,5,6,9}. The mode is equal to this set {1,3,5,6,9} :)

there isn't one - mode means the one that appears most frequently so it's all of them, in this case use the median or mean - it will be more mean ingful hehehe x

there is no mode there,coz all have equal frequancy which is 1

they are all equal so the modes are 1,3,5,6 and 9
