1. The following table shows the ages of the patients admitted to a hospital during a year:

Find the mode and the mean of the data given above. Compare and interpret the two

measures of central tendency.

Solution:

To find out the modal class, let us the consider the class interval with high frequency.

Here, the greatest frequency = 23, so the modal class = 35 – 45,

Lower limit of modal class = l = 35,

class width (h) = 10,

f_m = 23,

f₁ = 21 and f₂ = 14

The formula to find the mode is

Mode = l + [(f_m – f₁)/ (2f_m – f₁ – f₂)] × h

Substitute the values in the formula, we get

Mode = 35+[(23-21)/(46-21-14)]×10

= 35 + (20/11)

= 35 + 1.8

= 36.8 years

So the mode of the given data = 36.8 years

Calculation of Mean:

First find the midpoint using the formula, x_i = (upper limit +lower limit)/2

The mean formula is

Mean = x̄ = ∑f_ix_i /∑f_i

= 2830/80

= 35.375 years

Therefore, the mean of the given data = 35.375 years

2. The following data gives the information on the observed lifetimes (in hours) of 225

electrical components:

Determine the modal lifetimes of the components.

Solution:

From the given data the modal class is 60–80.

Lower limit of modal class = l = 60,

The frequencies are:

f_m = 61, f₁ = 52, f₂ = 38 and h = 20

The formula to find the mode is

Mode = l+ [(f_m – f₁)/(2f_m – f₁ – f₂)] × h

Substitute the values in the formula, we get

Mode = 60 + [(61 – 52)/ (122 – 52 – 38)] × 20

Mode = 60 + [(9 × 20)/32]

Mode = 60 + (45/8) = 60 + 5.625

Therefore, modal lifetime of the components = 65.625 hours.

3. The following data gives the distribution of total monthly household expenditure of 200

families of a village. Find the modal monthly expenditure of the families. Also, find the

mean monthly expenditure:

Solution:

Given data:

Modal class = 1500-2000,

l = 1500,

Frequencies:

f_m = 40 f₁ = 24, f₂ = 33 and

h = 500

Mode formula:

Mode = l + [(f_m – f₁)/ (2f_m – f₁ – f₂)] × h

Substitute the values in the formula, we get

Mode = 1500 + [(40 – 24)/ (80 – 24 – 33)] × 500

Mode = 1500 + [(16 × 500)/23]

Mode = 1500 + (8000/23) = 1500 + 347.83

Therefore, modal monthly expenditure of the families = Rupees 1847.83

Calculation for mean:

First find the midpoint using the formula, x_i =(upper limit +lower limit)/2

Let us assume a mean, (a) be 2750.

The formula to calculate the mean,

Mean = x̄ = a +(∑f_iu_i /∑f_i) × h

Substitute the values in the given formula

= 2750 + (-35/200) × 500

= 2750 – 87.50

= 2662.50

So, the mean monthly expenditure of the families = Rs. 2662.50

4. The following distribution gives the state-wise teacher-student ratio in higher secondary schools of India. Find the mode and mean of this data. Interpret the two measures

Solution:

Given data:

Modal class = 30 – 35,

l = 30,

Class width (h) = 5,

f_m = 10, f₁ = 9 and f₂ = 3

Mode Formula:

Mode = l + [(f_m – f₁)/ (2f_m – f₁ – f₂)] × h

Substitute the values in the given formula

Mode = 30 + [(10 – 9)/ (20 – 9 – 3)] × 5

= 30 + (5/8)

= 30 + 0.625

= 30.625

Therefore, the mode of the given data = 30.625

Calculation of mean:

Find the midpoint using the formula, x_i =(upper limit +lower limit)/2

Mean = x̄ = ∑f_ix_i /∑f_i

= 1022.5/35

= 29.2 (approx)

Therefore, mean = 29.2

5. The given distribution shows the number of runs scored by some top batsmen of the world in one- day international cricket matches.

Find the mode of the data.

Solution:

Given data:

Modal class = 4000 – 5000,

l = 4000,

class width (h) = 1000,

f_m = 18, f₁ = 4 and f₂ = 9

Mode Formula:

Mode = l + [(f_m – f₁)/ (2f_m – f₁ – f₂)] × h

Substitute the values

Mode = 4000 + [(18 – 4)/ (36 – 4 – 9)] × 1000

= 4000 + (14000/23)

= 4000 + 608.695

= 4608.695

= 4608.7 (approximately)

Thus, the mode of the given data is 4608.7 runs.

6. A student noted the number of cars passing through a spot on a road for 100 periods each of 3 minutes and summarized it in the table given below. Find the mode of the data:

Solution:

Given Data:

Modal class = 40 – 50, l = 40,

Class width (h) = 10, f_m = 20, f₁ = 12 and f₂ = 11

Mode = l + [(f_m – f₁)/(2f_m – f₁ – f₂)] × h

Substitute the values

Mode = 40 + [(20 – 12)/ (40 – 12 – 11)] × 10

= 40 + (80/17)

= 40 + 4.7

= 44.7

Thus, the mode of the given data is 44.7 cars.

In this exercise of NCERT Class 10 Solutions, students will solve questions based on finding the mode of grouped data and the mean value. In a grouped frequency distribution, we cannot find the mode with the help of given frequencies, but we can locate a class with the maximum frequency called the modal class. The mode is a value inside the modal class, and its formula is,

where l = lower limit of the modal class,

h = size of the class interval (assuming all class sizes to be equal),

f₁ = frequency of the modal class,

f₀= frequency of the class preceding the modal class,

f₂ = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class.
