MODE OF GROUPED DATA AND MIDRANGE

MODE OF GROUPED DATA

Mode - is the value that has the highest frequency in a data set.

For grouped data, class mode (or, modal class) is the class with the highest frequency.

Formula:

Mode = Lmo + ( ∆1 )
∆1 +∆2

Where:

Lmo - is the lower class boundary of the modal group

∆1 - the difference between frequency of class mode and the frequency of the class
after the class mode

∆2 - the difference between the frequency of class mode and the frequency of the
class before the class mode

i – is the class width

Example: Based on the grouped data below , find the mode.

Example:

The ages of the 112 people who live on a tropical island are grouped as follows:

Age Number
0–9 20
10 – 19 21
20 – 29 23
30 – 39 16
40 – 49 11
50 – 59 10
60 – 69 7
70 - 79 3
80 - 89 1

MIDRANGE

- in statistics, the midrange of a set of statistical data values is the arithmetic mean of
the maximum values in a data set.
- number that is halfway between the highest and the lowest number of your data
set.

Formula:

M = max + min
