yeah, if every value in a set appears the same number of times, there is no single value that is more frequent than others. it actually happens somewhat frequently if the numbers in the set only appear once.

Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
no mode
means no data has greater frequency than any other
examples of no mode are
Null Set, { }
2,2,2 each with frequency 1, 2, 3, ... infinity
same with larger data sets too

By definition, the mode is the number that occurs most often in a list. You could argue that a list would have no mode if
(a) The list had no elements ( an empty set)
(b) All items in the list were unique; that is, there were no duplicates (such as the list 1,3,4,5,6,7,8 )

1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5 has four modes but 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5 has zero modes mode= datum with most frequency in 1st case four data had more frequency than 1 in 2nd case no data had more frequency than any other

In the latter case, they are all modes.
