Question:
The marks in science of 80 students of class X are given below: Find the mode of the marks obtained by the students in science.
Solution:
Here, the maximum frequency is 20 so the modal class is 50−60.
Therefore,
$l=50$
$h=10$
$f=20$
$f_{1}=13$
$f_{2}=5$
Now,
Mode $=l+\frac{f-f_{1}}{2 f-f_{1}-f_{2}} \times h$
$=50+\frac{20-13}{40-13-5} \times 10$
$=50+\frac{7}{22} \times 10$
$=50+\frac{70}{22}$
$=50+3.17$
Thus, the mode of the marks obtained by the students in science is 53.17.
