The modal class of the following table will be:
\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Class Interval} & 0\text{--}5 & 5\text{--}10 & 10\text{--}15 & 15\text{--}20 & 20\text{--}25 \\ \hline \text{Frequency} & 2 & 7 & 11 & 8 & 6 \\ \hline \end{array} \]
Step 1: Identify the highest frequency
Frequencies are $2,\,7,\,11,\,8,\,6$. The maximum is $11$.
Step 2: Choose the corresponding class
The class with frequency $11$ is $10$--$15$ $\Rightarrow$ this is the modal class.
\[
\boxed{\text{Modal class }=\,10\text{--}15}
\]
The modal class of the following table will be:
\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Class Interval} & \text{Frequency} \\ \hline 0-5 & 5 \\ \hline 5-10 & 8 \\ \hline 10-15 & 12 \\ \hline 15-20 & 10 \\ \hline 20-25 & 7 \\ \hline \end{array} \]
Lifetimes (in hours) | 0 - 20 | 20 - 40 | 40 - 60 | 60 - 80 | 80 - 100 | 100 - 120 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Frequency | 10 | 35 | 52 | 61 | 28 | 29 |
A student noted the number of cars passing through a spot on a road for 100 periods each of 3 minutes and summarised it in the table given below. Find the mode of the data :
| Number of cars | 0 - 10 | 10 - 20 | 20 - 30 | 30 - 40 | 40 - 50 | 50 - 60 | 60 -70 | 70 - 80 |
| Frequency | 7 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 20 | 11 | 15 | 8 |
The following table shows the ages of tha year:
Age (in years) | 5 - 15 | 15 - 25 | 25 - 35 | 35 - 45 | 45 - 55 | 55 - 65 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Number of patients | 6 | 11 | 21 | 23 | 14 | 5 |
Find the mode and the mean of the data given above. Compare and interpret the two measures of central tendency.
