Which formula correctly gives the MODE of grouped data?

Class 10StatisticsStatistics and Probability
  • A₁−₀)/₁−₀−₂)
  • B
  • CΣ(fx) / Σf
  • Da + h · Σ(fu)/Σf

Step-by-Step Solution

Mode = ₁−₀)/₁−₀−₂). The second is the median formula, the third is the direct mean, the fourth is the step-deviation mean.
Answer: A) ₁−₀)/₁−₀−₂)

Key idea: Mode for grouped data

**Modal class**: class with HIGHEST frequency.

**Mode formula**:
**Mode = ₁ − ₀) / ₁ − ₀ − ₂)**

Where:
- = lower limit of modal class
- = class width
- ₁ = frequency of modal class
- ₀ = frequency of class BEFORE modal class
- ₂ = frequency of class AFTER modal class

**Example**: Modal class 30–40 with ₁ = 12, ₀ = 5, ₂ = 8. .
Mode = ≈ 36.36.
