How is the mode of a data set defined?

[a] it is the middle value of the set.

[b] it is the most common value in the set.

[c] it is the average of the different values in the set.

[d] it is the difference between the highest and lowest values of the set.

B. It is the most common value in the set.

[B] It is the most common value in the set.

Explanation:

To summarize a set of numerical data we can use the arithmetic mean, the median or the mode.

The arithmetic mean or average represents the equitable distribution, the balance, the equity. It is the value that the data would have, if all of them were equal. Or, also, the value that would correspond to each of the distribution data if its total sum were distributed equally.  If all the data is ordered, from least to greatest, the median is the value that occupies the central position. If the number of data is even, the median is the arithmetic mean of the two exchanges. The mode is the most repeated value or, what is the same, the one that has the most frequency.
