Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When it’s unique, the mode is the value that appears the most often in a data set and it can be used as a measure of central tendency, like the median and mean. But sometimes, there is no mode or there is more than one mode. There is no mode when all observed values appear the same number of times in a data set.
Detailed explanation-2: -A data set with only one value occurring with the highest frequency has only one mode. The data set in this case is called unimodal.
