Mean 𝑥𝑥̅ = 24.86 Answer.

To find Mode Class,

Here, maximum frequency is 63.

∴The mode class is 19.5-22.5.

∴L=lower boundary point of mode class =19.5
∴f1= frequency of the mode class =63
∴f0= frequency of the preceding class =5
∴f2= frequency of the succeeding class =39
∴C= class length of mode class =3

=19.5 + ( )∗3
2∗63−5−39

Mode=21.622 Answer.

Question # 2:
Calculate Median and mode from following data,
Groups 0-4 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-24
Frequency 5 15 12 10 8

Solution:
Groups Frequency Class B. Cumulative
frequency
0-4 5 0.5-4.5 5
5-9 15 4.5-9.5 5+15=20
10-14 12 9.5-14.5 20+12=32
15-19 10 14.5-19.5 32+10=42
20-24 8 19.5-24.5 42+8=50
∑F=50

To find Median,
=value of (n/2)th observation
=value of (50/2)th observation
= value of 25th observation

From the column of cumulative frequency CF, we find that

the 25th observation lies in the class 10-14.
∴ The median class is 9.5-14.5.
∴L=lower boundary point of median class =9.5
∴n=Total frequency =50
∴CF=Cumulative frequency of median class =20
∴F=Frequency of the median class =12
∴C=class length of median class =5

=9.5+2.0833
Median =11.58 Answer

To find Mode Class

Here, maximum frequency is 15.
∴The mode class is 4.5-9.5.
∴L=lower boundary point of mode class =4.5
∴f1= frequency of the mode class =15
∴f0= frequency of the preceding class =5
∴f2= frequency of the succeeding class =12
∴C= class length of mode class =5

Mode=𝐿𝐿 + (2∗𝑓𝑓1−𝑓𝑓0−𝑓𝑓2) ∗ 𝐶𝐶

=4.5+3.8462

Mode=8.3462 Answer.
