Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

 

(iii) (b) Find mode of the given data

1 50  
2 45  
3 46  
4 51  

Ans.

(4)

Here, the maximum frequency is 12 and the class corresponding to this frequency is 45 – 60

So,l=45,f1=12,f0=10,f2=9,h=15 Mode=l+f1-f02f1-f0-f2×h=45+12-102×12-10-9×15=45+305=51The mode of the given data is 51.
