Compute the mode from the following data:
Size45−5555−6565−7575−8585−9595−105105−115Frequency712173032610
As the class 85-95 has maximum frequency, so it is the modal class:
Therefore,
l=85, h=10, f=32 and f1=30 and f2=6
Mode = l+[h×(f−f1)/(2f−f1−f2)]
=85+[10×(32−30)/(2×64−30−6)]
= 85 + (5/7) = (85+0.71) = 85.71
Hence, mode = 85.71
