This set has no mode. See explanation.

Mode (modal value) of a data set is the most frequent value in the set.

But a set can either have more than one modal values or have no modal values.

A set has no modal values if all values have the same number of occurences (as in the given example).

A set can also have more than one modal value.

Example:

#S={1,1,1,2,3,4,5,5,6,6,6}#

In this set modes are #1# and #6# with 3 occurences.
