In mathematics, the term “modal value” refers to the mode, or the most frequent integer in a set of data. For instance, the modal value in the data set 1, 2, 2, 3 is 2, since it is the most prevalent number in the set.

One of the most popular methods to describe a set of data is by its mode. When analysing huge data sets, it is frequently helpful to determine the mean, mode, and median to rapidly understand how the values are distributed. The median is the middle number when sorted from smallest to greatest, whereas the mean is the average of the data set.
