Modal madness
In this exercise you'll work with a medical dataset to practice calculating modes. Remember that a mode is the most frequent value that occurs in a sample. If every value is unique, then there is no mode, and if there is a tie, then the sample can have 2+ modes.
Let's see how the mode compares to the median and mean here!
