To find: Is an average of a data set a mode?

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that,

The mean (average) of a data set is found by adding all numbers in the data set and then dividing by the number of values in the set.

Whereas,

The mode is the number that occurs most often in a data set.

Hence, the average of a data set is not a mode.
