Mode help?! URGENT

If I have the numbers:
73, 75, 78, 82, 85, 93

What would be the mode? Can you explain how I can get a mode from a set of numbers that doesn't repeat?:) Thanks!

For these set of numbers all the numbers are the mode.

Oh. Thanks so much! So if none of the numbers repeat, it means all the number are the mode?

I was taught that if all numbers appear with the same frequency, then there is no mode.
Maybe it varies depending on who you ask.


Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Hi all;


Agreed,  the mode of a data set where there is no repetitions has no mode.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
