EasyMCQ
$A$ survey conducted on $20$ households in a locality by a group of students resulted in the following frequency table for the number of family members in a household:
Family size$1-3$$3-5$$5-7$$7-9$$9-11$
Number of families$7$$8$$2$$2$$1$

Find the mode of this data.
A
$3.400$
B
$3.286$
C
$5.680$
D
$2.714$

Solution

(B) Here,the maximum class frequency is $8$,and the class corresponding to this frequency is $3-5$.
So,the modal class is $3-5$.
Now,
Modal class $= 3-5$,lower limit $(l)$ of modal class $= 3$,class size $(h) = 2$.
Frequency $(f_1)$ of the modal class $= 8$.
Frequency $(f_0)$ of the class preceding the modal class $= 7$.
Frequency $(f_2)$ of the class succeeding the modal class $= 2$.
Now,let us substitute these values in the formula:
Mode $= l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
Mode $= 3 + \left( \frac{8 - 7}{2 \times 8 - 7 - 2} \right) \times 2 = 3 + \frac{2}{7} = 3 + 0.286 = 3.286$.
Therefore,the mode of the data above is $3.286$.

DifficultMCQ
The following data provides information on the observed lifetimes (in $hours$) of $225$ electrical components:
Lifetimes (in hours)$0-20$$20-40$$40-60$$60-80$$80-100$$100-120$
Frequency$10$$35$$52$$61$$38$$29$

Determine the modal lifetimes of the components.
A
$65.625$
B
$60.100$
C
$64.475$
D
$70.500$

Solution

(A) From the data given above,it can be observed that the maximum class frequency is $61$,which belongs to the class interval $60-80$.
Therefore,the modal class is $60-80$.
Lower class limit $(l)$ of the modal class $= 60$.
Frequency $(f_1)$ of the modal class $= 61$.
Frequency $(f_0)$ of the class preceding the modal class $= 52$.
Frequency $(f_2)$ of the class succeeding the modal class $= 38$.
Class size $(h) = 20$.
Using the formula for mode:
$\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
$= 60 + \left( \frac{61 - 52}{2(61) - 52 - 38} \right) \times 20$
$= 60 + \left( \frac{9}{122 - 90} \right) \times 20$
$= 60 + \left( \frac{9}{32} \right) \times 20$
$= 60 + \frac{180}{32} = 60 + 5.625 = 65.625$.
Therefore,the modal lifetime of the electrical components is $65.625 \text{ hours}$.

Find the mode of the data.
A
$3608.7$
B
$4985.50$
C
$4500$
D
$4608.7$

Solution

(D) From the given data,the maximum class frequency is $18$,which corresponds to the class interval $4000-5000$.
Therefore,the modal class is $4000-5000$.
Lower limit $(l)$ of the modal class $= 4000$.
Frequency $(f_1)$ of the modal class $= 18$.
Frequency $(f_0)$ of the class preceding the modal class $= 4$.
Frequency $(f_2)$ of the class succeeding the modal class $= 9$.
Class size $(h) = 1000$.
The formula for mode is:
$\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
Substituting the values:
$\text{Mode} = 4000 + \left( \frac{18 - 4}{2(18) - 4 - 9} \right) \times 1000$
$\text{Mode} = 4000 + \left( \frac{14}{36 - 13} \right) \times 1000$
$\text{Mode} = 4000 + \left( \frac{14}{23} \right) \times 1000$
$\text{Mode} = 4000 + \frac{14000}{23}$
$\text{Mode} = 4000 + 608.695...$
$\text{Mode} \approx 4608.7$
Therefore,the mode of the given data is $4608.7$ runs.

C
$35.3$
D
$43.50$

Solution

(A) From the given data, it can be observed that the maximum class frequency is $20,$ which belongs to the $40-50$ class interval.
Therefore, the modal class $= 40-50$.
Lower limit $(l)$ of the modal class $= 40$.
Frequency $(f_1)$ of the modal class $= 20$.
Frequency $(f_0)$ of the class preceding the modal class $= 12$.
Frequency $(f_2)$ of the class succeeding the modal class $= 11$.
Class size $(h) = 10$.
Using the mode formula: $\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$.
$\text{Mode} = 40 + \left( \frac{20 - 12}{2(20) - 12 - 11} \right) \times 10$.
$\text{Mode} = 40 + \left( \frac{8}{40 - 23} \right) \times 10$.
$\text{Mode} = 40 + \left( \frac{8}{17} \right) \times 10$.
$\text{Mode} = 40 + \frac{80}{17}$.
$\text{Mode} = 40 + 4.705 \approx 44.7$.
Therefore, the mode of this data is $44.7$ cars.

EasyMCQ
For the following distribution,the modal class is:
Marks Number of students
Below $10$ $3$
Below $20$ $12$
Below $30$ $27$
Below $40$ $57$
Below $50$ $75$
Below $60$ $80$
A
$10-20$
B
$30-40$
C
$20-30$
D
$40-50$

Solution

(B) To find the modal class,we first convert the cumulative frequency distribution into a standard frequency distribution table:
Class Interval Frequency
$0-10$ $3$
$10-20$ $12 - 3 = 9$
$20-30$ $27 - 12 = 15$
$30-40$ $57 - 27 = 30$
$40-50$ $75 - 57 = 18$
$50-60$ $80 - 75 = 5$

The modal class is the class interval with the highest frequency.
From the table,the highest frequency is $30$,which corresponds to the class interval $30-40$.
Therefore,the modal class is $30-40$.

The frequency distribution table of agricultural holdings in a village is given below:
Area of land (in hectares) $1-3$ $3-5$ $5-7$ $7-9$ $9-11$ $11-13$
Number of families $20$ $45$ $80$ $55$ $40$ $12$

Find the modal agricultural holdings of the village (in hectares).
A
$5.2$
B
$3.8$
C
$6.2$
D
$7.2$

Solution

(C) Here,the maximum class frequency is $80,$ and the class corresponding to this frequency is $5-7.$
So,the modal class is $5-7.$
$l$ (lower limit of modal class) $= 5$
$f_{1}$ (frequency of the modal class) $= 80$
$f_{0}$ (frequency of the class preceding the modal class) $= 45$
$f_{2}$ (frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) $= 55$
$h$ (class size) $= 2$
Mode $= l + \left( \frac{f_{1} - f_{0}}{2f_{1} - f_{0} - f_{2}} \right) \times h$
Mode $= 5 + \left( \frac{80 - 45}{2(80) - 45 - 55} \right) \times 2$
Mode $= 5 + \left( \frac{35}{160 - 100} \right) \times 2$
Mode $= 5 + \left( \frac{35}{60} \right) \times 2 = 5 + \frac{35}{30}$
Mode $= 5 + 1.166... \approx 6.17$ (Rounding to $6.2$ as per options).
Hence,the modal agricultural holdings of the village is $6.2$ hectares.

C
$11775$
D
$11875$

Solution

(D) In the given data,the highest frequency is $41,$ which corresponds to the modal class interval $10000-15000$.
Here,the lower limit of the modal class $l = 10000$,the frequency of the modal class $f_m = 41$,the frequency of the class preceding the modal class $f_1 = 26$,the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class $f_2 = 16$,and the class size $h = 5000$.
The formula for the mode is:
$\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_m - f_1}{2f_m - f_1 - f_2} \right) \times h$
Substituting the values:
$\text{Mode} = 10000 + \left( \frac{41 - 26}{2 \times 41 - 26 - 16} \right) \times 5000$
$= 10000 + \left( \frac{15}{82 - 42} \right) \times 5000$
$= 10000 + \left( \frac{15}{40} \right) \times 5000$
$= 10000 + 15 \times 125$
$= 10000 + 1875 = 11875$
Thus,the modal income is $Rs. 11875$.

Here,the lower limit of the modal class $l = 201$,the frequency of the modal class $f_m = 26$,the frequency of the class preceding the modal class $f_1 = 12$,the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class $f_2 = 20$,and the class width $h = 1$.
The formula for the mode is:
$\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_m - f_1}{2f_m - f_1 - f_2} \right) \times h$
Substituting the values:
$\text{Mode} = 201 + \left( \frac{26 - 12}{2 \times 26 - 12 - 20} \right) \times 1$
$= 201 + \left( \frac{14}{52 - 32} \right)$
$= 201 + \frac{14}{20} = 201 + 0.7 = 201.7 \, g$.
Hence,the modal weight is $201.7 \, g$.

Find the mode of the following frequency distribution:
Class $0-100$ $100-200$ $200-300$ $300-400$ $400-500$ $500-600$

A
$120$
B
$240$
C
$560$
D
$340$

Solution

(B) The modal class is the class with the highest frequency. Here,the highest frequency is $37$,which corresponds to the class interval $200-300$.
Thus,the modal class is $200-300$.
We use the formula for mode: $Z = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
Where:
$l$ (lower limit of modal class) $= 200$
$h$ (class size) $= 100$
$f_1$ (frequency of modal class) $= 37$
$f_0$ (frequency of the class preceding the modal class) $= 21$
$f_2$ (frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) $= 13$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$Z = 200 + \left( \frac{37 - 21}{2(37) - 21 - 13} \right) \times 100$
$Z = 200 + \left( \frac{16}{74 - 34} \right) \times 100$
$Z = 200 + \left( \frac{16}{40} \right) \times 100$
$Z = 200 + 0.4 \times 100$
$Z = 200 + 40 = 240$
Therefore,the mode of the given frequency distribution is $240$.

The mode of the following data is $33 \frac{1}{3}$ and the total frequency is $100$. Find the missing frequencies $x$ and $y$.
Class $0-10$ $10-20$ $20-30$ $30-40$ $40-50$ $50-60$
Frequency $7$ $12$ $x$ $28$ $y$ $9$

Solution

(A) Here,the mode $33 \frac{1}{3}$ lies in the class $30-40$.
Therefore,$30-40$ is the modal class.
Now,$c$ (class length) $= 10$,$l$ (lower limit of the modal class) $= 30$,$f_1$ (frequency of the modal class) $= 28$,$f_0$ (frequency of the class preceding the modal class) $= x$,and $f_2$ (frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) $= y$.
Substituting the values in the mode formula $Z = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times c$:
$33 \frac{1}{3} = 30 + \left( \frac{28 - x}{2(28) - x - y} \right) \times 10$
$3 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{28 - x}{56 - x - y} \times 10$
$\frac{10}{3} = \frac{28 - x}{56 - x - y} \times 10$
$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{28 - x}{56 - x - y}$
$56 - x - y = 84 - 3x$
$2x - y = 28$ ... $(1)$
Moreover,the total frequency is $100$.
$7 + 12 + x + 28 + y + 9 = 100$
$56 + x + y = 100$
$x + y = 44$ ... $(2)$
Adding equations $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$3x = 72 \implies x = 24$
Substituting $x = 24$ in equation $(2)$:
$24 + y = 44 \implies y = 20$
Thus,the missing frequencies are $x = 24$ and $y = 20$.

Solution

(D) To find the mode of a grouped frequency distribution,we use the formula:
$Mode = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
$1$. Identify the modal class (the class with the highest frequency). Here,the highest frequency is $55$,which corresponds to the class interval $60-70$.
$2$. From the modal class:
Lower limit $(l)$ = $60$
Frequency of the modal class $(f_1)$ = $55$
Frequency of the class preceding the modal class $(f_0)$ = $43$
Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class $(f_2)$ = $37$
Class size $(h)$ = $70 - 60 = 10$
$3$. Substitute the values into the formula:
$Mode = 60 + \left( \frac{55 - 43}{2(55) - 43 - 37} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 60 + \left( \frac{12}{110 - 80} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 60 + \left( \frac{12}{30} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 60 + \left( \frac{12}{3} \right)$
$Mode = 60 + 4 = 64$
Therefore,the mode of the given frequency distribution is $64$.

(A) To find the mode of a grouped frequency distribution,we use the formula:
$Mode = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
$1$. Identify the modal class: The class with the highest frequency is $40-60$ (frequency $26$).
$2$. Here,the lower limit of the modal class $l = 40$,the size of the class interval $h = 20$.
$3$. The frequency of the modal class $f_1 = 26$.
$4$. The frequency of the class preceding the modal class $f_0 = 9$.
$5$. The frequency of the class succeeding the modal class $f_2 = 23$.
$6$. Substituting these values into the formula:
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{26 - 9}{2(26) - 9 - 23} \right) \times 20$
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{17}{52 - 32} \right) \times 20$
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{17}{20} \right) \times 20$
$Mode = 40 + 17 = 57$
Thus,the mode is $57$.

(B) The formula for the mode of a grouped frequency distribution is given by:
$Mode = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
$1$. Identify the modal class: The class with the highest frequency is $40-50$,so the modal class is $40-50$.
$2$. Identify the parameters:
- Lower limit of the modal class $(l)$ = $40$
- Frequency of the modal class $(f_1)$ = $42$
- Frequency of the class preceding the modal class $(f_0)$ = $24$
- Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class $(f_2)$ = $30$

$3$. Substitute the values into the formula:
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{42 - 24}{2(42) - 24 - 30} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{18}{84 - 54} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{18}{30} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{18}{3} \right) = 40 + 6 = 46$

Solution

(C) The modal class is the class with the highest frequency. Here,the highest frequency is $66$,which corresponds to the class interval $60-75$.
Formula for mode: $\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
Here:
$l$ (lower limit of modal class) $= 60$

$f_1$ (frequency of modal class) $= 66$
$f_0$ (frequency of the class preceding the modal class) $= 45$
$f_2$ (frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) $= 42$
Substituting the values:
$\text{Mode} = 60 + \left( \frac{66 - 45}{2(66) - 45 - 42} \right) \times 15$
$\text{Mode} = 60 + \left( \frac{21}{132 - 87} \right) \times 15$
$\text{Mode} = 60 + \left( \frac{21}{45} \right) \times 15$

Solution

(C) The mode is given as $37$. Since $37$ lies in the class interval $30-40$,the modal class is $30-40$.
The formula for mode is: $\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
Here,$l = 30$ (lower limit of modal class),$h = 10$ (class size),$f_1 = 18$ (frequency of modal class),$f_0 = x$ (frequency of preceding class),and $f_2 = 15$ (frequency of succeeding class).
Substituting the values: $37 = 30 + \left( \frac{18 - x}{2(18) - x - 15} \right) \times 10$
$37 - 30 = \left( \frac{18 - x}{36 - 15 - x} \right) \times 10$
$7 = \left( \frac{18 - x}{21 - x} \right) \times 10$
$7(21 - x) = 10(18 - x)$
$147 - 7x = 180 - 10x$
$10x - 7x = 180 - 147$
$3x = 33$
$x = 11$.

(A) Given total frequency $N = 150$.
Sum of frequencies: $6 + 8 + 17 + x + 42 + 30 + y + 8 = 150$
$111 + x + y = 150 \implies x + y = 39$ --- $(1)$
Since the mode is $46$,the modal class is $40-50$.
Here,$l = 40, f_1 = 42, f_0 = x, f_2 = 30, h = 10$.
Mode formula: $\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
$46 = 40 + \left( \frac{42 - x}{2(42) - x - 30} \right) \times 10$
$6 = \left( \frac{42 - x}{84 - 30 - x} \right) \times 10$
$6 = \frac{10(42 - x)}{54 - x} \implies 3(54 - x) = 5(42 - x)$
$162 - 3x = 210 - 5x$
$2x = 48 \implies x = 24$
Substituting $x = 24$ in $(1)$: $24 + y = 39 \implies y = 15$.
Thus,$x = 24$ and $y = 15$.

The mode of the following frequency distribution is $64$ and the total frequency is $200.$ Find the missing frequencies $x$ and $y.$
Class $20-30$ $30-40$ $40-50$ $50-60$ $60-70$ $70-80$ $80-90$
Frequency $8$ $12$ $27$ $x$ $55$ $37$ $y$

Solution

(X=43, Y=18) Given total frequency $N = 200.$
Sum of frequencies: $8 + 12 + 27 + x + 55 + 37 + y = 200 \implies 139 + x + y = 200 \implies x + y = 61$ (Equation $1$).
Since the mode is $64,$ the modal class is $60-70.$
Formula for mode: $\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h.$
Here,$l = 60, f_1 = 55, f_0 = x, f_2 = 37, h = 10.$
$64 = 60 + \left( \frac{55 - x}{2(55) - x - 37} \right) \times 10.$
$4 = \left( \frac{55 - x}{110 - x - 37} \right) \times 10 \implies 4 = \frac{550 - 10x}{73 - x}.$
$292 - 4x = 550 - 10x \implies 6x = 258 \implies x = 43.$
Substituting $x = 43$ in Equation $1$: $43 + y = 61 \implies y = 18.$
Thus,$x = 43$ and $y = 18.$
