Question

Find the mode of the following data:

Marks 0 − 10 10 − 20 20 − 30 30 − 40 40 − 50
Number of students 22 38 46 34 20
Sum

Solution

Marks No. of students
0 − 10 22
10 − 20 38
20 − 30 46
30 − 40 34
40 − 50 20

The highest frequency is 46

20 – 30 is the modal class

Here l = 20, f = 46, f1 = 38, f2 = 34 and c = 10

Mode = `("l" + (f - f_1))/((2f - f_1 - f_2)) xx "c"`

= `20 + ((46 - 38) xx 10)/((92 - 38 - 34))`

= `20 + (8 xx 10)/20`

= `20 + (8 xx 10)/20`

= 20 + 4

= 24

∴ Mode = 24
