Compute the Mode of the Student’s scores

Scores frequency

41-45 1
36-40 8
31-35 8
26-30 14
21-25 7
16-20 2

FORMULA:
Mode= lb mo+ ( D1 )i
(D1+ D2)

lb mo = the lower class boundary of the modal group

*modal class = 26 – 30 (highest frequency)

lb mo = 26 – 0.5 = 25.5

*D1= (highest frequency – the frequency next lower class)

D1=14 -7 = 7

*D2 = highest frequency – frequency of the next upper class

D2 = 14-8 = 6

i= the group width/interval

i= 5

Sol’n:

Mode= lb mo+ ( D1 )i
(D1+ D2)

Mode =25.5 + ( 7 )x5

7+6

Mode =25.5 + ( 7 )x5

13
Mode =25.5 + 2.69

Mode =28.19
