Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Mode(Mo) is the most frequently occurring score in a distribution. The median (Md) is the middle score of a distribution. Half on the left half on the right (the 50th percentile.) Better measure of central tendency than the mode since it balances perfectly distribution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a set. If you look at your golf scores, 4 is the one that’s most common so, for that set, 4 is the mode. Although mode may not frequently be used in statistics, mode is more often used when describing non-numerical things.
