Data set need not always have a mode.

Mode is an item that occurs more number of times in a distribution.
Here the distribution, I mean Individual Observation.

In an Individual Observation, if each item occurs only once, you will not get mode.

In a Discrete Distribution and Continuous Distribution, there is mode always.
