undefined Great question! Let’s find the mode step by step.

1. **What is mode?** 
   - Mode is the number that appears most often in a list.

2. **Look at the numbers:** 
   - Our numbers are: 10, 4, 13, 11, 12.

3. **Count each number:** 
   - How many times does each number show up? 
   - 10: 1 time
   - 4: 1 time
   - 13: 1 time
   - 11: 1 time
   - 12: 1 time

4. **Find the number that appears most often:**
   - Did any number show up more than once?

5. **Final step:**
   - No number appears more than once. So, is there a mode in this list?

What do you think?

There isn't one.

The mode is the number that occurs most often in a sequence of numbers. Because each number appears only once in the aforementioned sequence, the mode does not exist.
