For the following distribution, the modal class is
MarksNumber of studentsBelow 103Below 2012Below 3027Below 4057Below 5075Below 6080
The correct option is
C
30-40
MarksNumber of studentsCumulative frequencyBelow 103=3310−20(12−3)=91220−30(27−12)=152730−40(57−27)=305740−50(75−57)=187550−60(80−75)=580
Here, we see that the highest frequency is 30,which lies in the interval 30−40
∴The modal class is 30−40
Hence , the correct answer is option (C).
