Statistics - Mode calculation

[SaiBabaji-JSB]

Bug description:

import statistics
 
# declaring a simple data-set consisting of real valued
# positive integers.
set1 =[1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5,6]
 
# In the given data-set
# Count of 1 is 1
# Count of 2 is 1
# Count of 3 is 2
# Count of 4 is 3
# Count of 5 is 2
# Count of 6 is 1
# We can infer that 4 has the highest population distribution
# So mode of set1 is 4
 
# Printing out mode of given data-set
print("Mode of given data set is % s" % (statistics.mode(set1)))

Output
Mode of given data set is 4

Issue : Mode should be Binomal for set having same count of two different numbers. In above set output mode should be 4 & 5

Check this is priority as there are lot of business requirements should solve on statistics
