A teacher claims: 'Since the modal class of the test scores is 60-70, the most common score is exactly 65 (the mid-point).' Under what condition is this claim exactly correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Only when the frequencies of the classes just before and just after the modal class are equal (f0 = f2). Mode = l + h/2 (the mid-point) exactly when f0 = f2, because then the formula's fraction is 1/2. Otherwise the mode is shifted toward the heavier neighbouring class.
