Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode if multiple categories repeat an equal number of times. For example, in a data set with five item—3, 5, 5, 29, 473—the mode is 5 because it occurs twice and no other value occurs more than once. On a histogram or bar chart, the element with the highest bar represents the mode. Therefore, the mode is sometimes considered the most popular option. The mode is useful for nominal or categorical data (e.g., the most common color car that users purchase), but it is problematic for continuous data because it is more likely not to have any value that is more frequent than the other.

Expert Solution

Step 1

For ordinal data mean cannot be found as it require an arithmetic operation like addition and division of all data values. So mean cannot be calculated.

The data is arranged in order and we have total of 12 data points, so the median will be the middle value which is nothing but the average of sixth and seventh data point. As this is ordinal data we cannot perform arithmetic operation. so median is also cannot be computed as there are even number of data points.
