In[5]:=

Out[5]=

Use StatisticsSummary on the values in the "Fisher iris" dataset:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

Possible Issues (3) 

StatisticsSummary will ignore non-numeric data:

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

StatisticsSummary will only return a single unique mode:

In[8]:=

Out[8]=

Multimodal data or data whose elements are all unique will not return a value for the mode:

In[9]:=

Out[9]=
