Explanation:
Let there be a data set: a1;a2;;an. Let m be a mode of this set.
If you add a number n to every value, the quantity of numbers will not change, only
the numbers change, so if a number m had the most occurences (m is the mode),
after adding a number m+n will have the most occurences (it will occur at the same positions in the set as m in the first).
