1. Find the mode of the following distribution:
Marks 10 20 20 30 30 40 40 50 50 60
Frequency 12 35 45 25 13
Sol:
Here, the maximum class frequency is 45, and the class corresponding to this frequency is 
30 40. So, the modal class is 30- 40.
Now,
Modal class = 30 40, lower limit ( l) of modal class = 30, class size ( h) = 10,
frequency (f1) of the modal class = 45,
frequency (f0) of class preceding the modal class = 35,
frequency (f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 25
Now, let us substitute these values in the formula:
Mode = l + × h
= 30 + × 10
= 30 + × 10
= 30 + 3.33
= 33.33
Hence, the mode is 33.33.
2. Compute the mode of the following data:
Class 0 20 20 40 40 60 60 80 80 100
Frequency 25 16 28 20 5
Sol: 
Here, the maximum class frequency is 28, and the class corresponding to this frequency is 
40 60. So, the modal class is 40 60.

Find the modal height.
Also, find the mean height. Compared and interpret the two measures of central tendency.
Sol: 
Here, the maximum class frequency is 20, and the class corresponding to this frequency is 
160 165. So, the modal class is 160 165.

frequency (f1) of the modal class = 20,
frequency (f0) of class preceding the modal class = 8,
frequency (f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 12
Now, let us substitute these values in the formula:
Mode = l + × h
= 160 + × 5
= 160 + × 5
= 160 + 3
= 163
Hence, the mode is 163.
