grade math text that elicits answers regarding these three particular concepts. The exercise in her homework does not discuss the concept of "average" or use "mean" interchangeably with the former term. Additionally, from a layman's perspective, the concepts of "mean" or "average", "mode," and "median" are distinct concepts, not just different flavors of "average," and the most common use of "average" does not encompass either "mode" or "median". Otherwise, there would be confusion as to what, for example, the "average age" of a given population group was (i.e., is it the "mode," "median," or "mean"?). A more in-depth treatment of the subtle differences between various "tendencies" is best addressed elsewhere; the topic's breath is somewhat greater than what most people will be searching for.

somehow, and one imaginable way is a random-value producing apparatus that keeps producing a stream of digits making up the decimal expansion of the values for the random variables. So imagine that after several eons of steady production we have that one stream is "0.7785459(to be continued)" and so is another. Are the two values duplicates of each other? Perhaps, but most likely not. They may diverge at every next digit. But even if they are, we'll never know, since the streams will never be complete. So actually, the probability of any duplicate elements is 0, and, moreover, even if duplicacy (is that an English word?) occurs, it remains forever unknowable. Might as well say: can't happen. --
85: 64: 184: 174: 153: 31: 1011:: imagine a random variable X on with p(x)=2x. X obviously has a mode at x=1. Then define a random variable Y determined by X by (a) writing X as a binary fraction , (b) changing all the '1' digits to '2' digits, and (c) reading the result as a ternary fraction. This is a monotonic transformation so the mode of Y should be at 0.2222...(base 3), i.e. at 1. I have not convinced myself and I won't press the point. -- 22: 611:
we look at this from a practical point of view, wouldn't it be more helpful to talk about the practical situation where you get, say, temperature readings with +/- .01 degrees accuracy and it's quite possible, but unlikely, that you'll get the same reading twice, rendering the mode meaningless and requiring the technique described? -- In any case, thanks for explaining!

Quite a reasonable article, though the language could perhaps be made simpler and flow better in places (i've just had a go at the first sentence). This isn't a complex concept and not as important as the mean or median in practice so i don't think the article needs to be any longer – if anything, it

agreed, giving "Mode: n/a".

It is indeed an interesting point, and it crossed my mind that the Cantor set could be said to be the mode. On the other hand, the somewhat loose definition given for mode ("the most frequent value assumed by a random variable") is not designed for such pathological cases, and it would be stressing

The article gives the example of a data sample and states: "the mode is not unique". That is about all that can be said about it. Depending on your needs, predilections, and local customs, you can pick your choice between: (a) for this sample the mode is undefined; (b) this sample actually has two

If the population distribution is continuous, the chance of observing two or more identical values is 0. If you discretize the data, then the result may (of course) depend on the details. If you have a distribution whose density function has a thin spike, it gets diluted when the intervals are much

Indeed, more precisely formulated, the probability of any duplicate elements is 0. So if you were to repeat this for the rest of the life of the universe, you'd never expect a duplicate. Isn't that good enough for "will occur precisely once"? More strongly, though, the values have to be represented

It assumes at the beginning that we know the mode, in order to form a confidence interval for the mode. Likewise, later in discussing symmetric distributions, the confidence interval for the mean/median/mode depends on the true value of the mean/median/mode. This renders it not useful in practice

On a more practical bent, elementary school texts are discussing the three concepts, "mode," "median," and "mean" together without even mentioning the "average" concept. What drew me to the mode article (and to the section on mode, mean, and median) was a basic exercise from my daughter's sixth

I don't understand why in "a sample from a continuous distribution each value will occur precisely once." I'm not particularly familiar with statistics (I didn't know what a 'mode' was before reading this article), so this may just reflect confusion on my part, but I don't see why sample from a
