Since the class 8−12 has the highest frequency, therefore, it is the modal class Now, Mode =l+f1−f02f1−f0−f2×h Where l lower limit of the modal class f1= frequency of the modal class f0= frequency of the class preceeding the modal class f2= frequency of the class succeeding the modal class h= size of the class interval So, Mode =8+19−62(19)−6−12×4=10.6.
