3. Find the mode of the following distribution.
3. Find the mode of the following distribution.

(i)

Class interval:0 – 1010 – 2020 – 3030 – 4040 – 5050 – 6060 – 7070 – 80
Frequency:5871228201010

Solution

Statistics is the discipline that concerns the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data. In applying statistics to a scientific, industrial, or social problem, it is conventional to begin with a statistical population or a statistical model to be studied.

Class interval:0 – 1010 – 2020 – 3030 – 4040 – 5050 – 6060 – 7070 – 80
Frequency:5871228201010

It’s seen that the maximum frequency is 28.

So, the corresponding class i.e., 40 - 50 is the modal class.

And,            

l = 40, h = 50 40 = 10, f = 28, f<sub>1</sub> = 12, f<sub>2 </sub>= 20

Using the formula for finding mode, we get

= 40 + 160/ 24

= 40 + 6.67

= 46.67

(ii)

Class interval10 – 1515 – 2020 – 2525 – 3030 – 3535 – 40
Frequency304575352515

Solution:

Class interval10 – 1515 – 2020 – 2525 – 3030 – 3535 – 40
Frequency304575352515

It’s seen that the maximum frequency is 75

So, the corresponding class i.e., 20 - 25 is the modal class.

And,

l = 20, h = 25 - 20 = 5, f = 75, f<sub>1</sub> = 45, f<sub>2 </sub>= 35

Using the formula for finding mode, we get

= 20 + 150/70

= 20 + 2.14

= 22.14

(iii)

Class interval25 – 3030 – 3535 – 4040 – 4545 – 5050 – 55
Frequency253450423814

Solution:

Class interval25 – 3030 – 3535 – 4040 – 4545 – 5050 – 55
Frequency253450423814

It’s seen that the maximum frequency is 50.

So, the corresponding class i.e., 35 - 40 is the modal class.

And,

l = 35, h = 40 - 35 = 5, f = 50, f<sub>1</sub> = 34, f<sub>2 </sub>= 42

Using the formula for finding mode, we get

= 35 + 80/24

= 35 + 3.33

= 38.33
