Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
TRUE or FALSE?A data set can have more than one mode.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There is no mode when all observed values appear the same number of times in a data set. There is more than one mode when the highest frequency was observed for more than one value in a data set. In both of these cases, the mode can’t be used to locate the centre of the distribution.

Detailed explanation-2: -If there are two numbers that appear most often (and the same number of times) then the data has two modes. This is called bimodal. If there are more than 2 then the data would be called multimodal. If all the numbers appear the same number of times, then the data set has no modes.
