The **mode** is the value of \(X\) for which \(\mathrm{f}(x)\) is greatest, in the given range of \(X\). We find it by either

sketching the graph of \(y=\mathrm{f}(x)\)

finding the \(x\)-coordinate of the stationary point by putting \(\mathrm{f}'(x)=0\) and check that it gives maximum value of \(\mathrm{f}(x)\).
