How to Find the Mode of Grouped Data (With Examples)
Often we may want to calculate the mode of data that is grouped in
some way.
Recall that the mode represents the value that occurs most frequently.
For example, suppose we have the following grouped data:
Range Frequency
1.10 2
11-20 7
21-30 10
31-40 3
41-50 1
While it’s not possible to calculate the exact mode since we don’t know
the raw data values, it is possible to estimate the mode using the
following formula:
Mode of Grouped Data = L + WI(Fin — F4)/( (Fim-F1) + (Fm — F2) I
where:

+ L: Lower limit of modal class
+ W: Width of modal class
+ Fin: Frequency of modal class
» F4: Frequency of class immediately before modal class
» Fa: Frequency of class immediately after modal class
Note: The modal class is simply the class with the highest frequency.
In the example above, the modal class would be 21-30 since it has the
highest frequency.
The following examples show how to calculate the mode of grouped
data in different scenarios.
Example 1: Calculate the Mode of Grouped Data
Suppose we have the following frequency distribution that shows the
exam scored receive by 40 students in a certain class:
Exam Score Frequency
51-60 4
61-70 8
71-80 15,
81-90 8
91-100 5
In this example, the modal class is 71-80.
Knowing this, we can calculate the following values:
+ L: Lower limit of modal class: 71
+ W: Width of modal class: 9

+ Fm: Frequency of modal class: 15
» F4: Frequency of class immediately before modal class: 8
+ F,: Frequency of class immediately after modal class: 8
We can plug these values into the formula to calculate the mode of the
distribution:
+ Mode = L + WI(Fm — F4)/( (Fm-F1) + (Fm — Fe) )]
+ Mode = 71 + 9[(15-8) / ( (15-8) + (15-8) )]
+ Mode = 75.5
We estimate that the modal exam score is 75.5.
Example 2: Calculate the Mode of Grouped Data
Suppose we have the following frequency distribution that shows the
number of points scored per game by 60 basketball players:
Points Scored | Frequency
1.10 8
11:20
21-30
31-40
41-50
In this example, the modal class is 11-20.
Knowing this, we can calculate the following values:
+ L: Lower limit of modal class: 11
+ W: Width of modal class: 9
+ Fim: Frequency of modal class: 25

+ F4: Frequency of class immediately before modal class: 8
+ Fo: Frequency of class immediately after modal class: 14
We can plug these values into the formula to calculate the mode of the
distribution:
+ Mode = L + W[(Fm — Fa) (Fm-F1) + (Fm — Fa) )]
+ Mode = 11 + 9[(25-8) / ( (25-8) + (25-14) )]
+ Mode = 16.46
We estimate that the modal points scored is 16.46.
