where
n : total frequency
Lm : lower median class boundary
L mo : lower modal class boundary

f m−1 : cumulative frequencies for the classes before the median class
fm : median class frequency
1 : (modal class frequency) - (frequency for the class before the modal class)
2 : (modal class frequency) - (frequency for the class after the modal class)
C : class size
