Modus

Suppose we order soccer shoes for our students as many as 30 people. First we ask or we
check their shoe number. For example the shoe number is as follows:
Shoes Number Banyaknya
41 1
40 1
39 5
38 7
37 10
36 4
35 2
Jumlah 30

Their average shoe numbers are:

1.41+1.40+ 5.39+ 7.38+10.37+4.36 +2.35 8
= = 37
30 15
If for one or several reasons we will choose just one shoe number, which number will we take?
We will not choose the number 378/15, because no one's feet will match the 378/15 shoes.
Obviously we will choose number 37 at most, number 37 or 37 it is called modus.
A set of data may not have a modus, maybe a double modus (two) or multi modus.
Numbers (collection of numbers) that do not have a moda, for example: 9, 8, 7, 3, 6, 1. A
collection of numbers with a dual mode, for example: 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 1, 3, 3 , 2, 3.

Compiled Data Modus

Data modus which is composed of a set of numbers is the most number that appears. We use this
principle for structured data modus, just looking for it is not as easy as in unstructured data.
Because that modus is located in a class that has the highest frequency (many). The class in
which that modus exists is called the frequency class. So the modus class of table 3.1 is the third
class.

The arranged data modus is calculated by formula :

S1
Mo = Bb + p …………………………….. 3
S 1+ S 2
Where: Mo = Modus

Bb = Lower class modus limit

P = class length

S1 = Difference in modus class frequency with the previous class frequency

S2 = Difference between the modus class frequency and the secondary class frequency

42−18 24
Mo = 58,5 + 9 =58,5+ 9
( 42−18 )+(42−21) 24+ 21
24 24
= 58,5 + 9 . = 58,5 + 9 + 4,8 = 63,3
45 5

This mode can be illustrated diagram 8.1.1.

Diagram 8.1 shows:

Bb = Lower class modus limit
P = class length (modus class)
S1 = Difference between the frequency class modus with the frequency of the previous class
S2 = Difference between the modus class frequency and the secondary class frequency
T = Intersection point between AC and BD
TE = Perpendicular AB
d = is long TE
Bb Mo = d

S1
According to formula 8.1 Mo = Bb + p
S 1+ S 2
 S1
Mo = Bb + d, so d = p
S 1+ S 2

Proof :
Pull TF // AB
Pay attention ∆ ABC
CF : CD = TF : S1
Then : p x TF = (p-d) x S1

Pay attention to ∆ BDC

BF : BC : TF : DC
d : p = S2, then P x TF = d x S2
so d x S2 = (p - d) x S1
d x S2 = P x S1 – d x S1
d (S1 + S2 ) = P x S1
S1
d=p
S 1+ S 2
