Detailed explanation-1: -Mean is generally considered the best measure of central tendency and the most frequently used one. However, there are some situations where the other measures of central tendency are preferred. There are few extreme scores in the distribution.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mode is the most frequently occurring score in a set of given numbers. Put another way, it is the score that appears the greatest number of times.
Detailed explanation-3: -The mode is simply the score that occurs most frequently. Note that both the mean and the median are points on a scale and are found by computation; they aren’t necessarily whole numbers. If the score distribution is bell-shaped, the mean, median, and mode are identical and fall in the middle of the scale.
Detailed explanation-4: -The mode is the most commonly occurring data point in a dataset. The mode is useful when there are a lot of repeated values in a dataset.
Detailed explanation-5: -The mode (Mo) is the most frequently occurring score in a data set. IN the data set above, X = 5 has the greatest frequency (f = 9); hence, the mode is 5. Another problem is that the mode might be at one end of a distribution, not at the center.
