In statistics, the mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. This goes in the form of a column when we find two modes, that is, two data that have the same maximum absolute frequency.

First, we are going to count how many times each number is repeated in the data set.


\begin{gathered} 7\to3\text{ times} \\ 3\to3\text{ times} \\ 4\to2\text{ times} \\ 6\to3\text{ times} \\ 5\to2\text{ times} \end{gathered}

The highest frequency in the data set as we can see is 3. That is, the mode will be all the numbers that have that frequency in this case 7, 3 and 6
