(i) Here, N=200
Now, N2=2002=100, which lies in the interval 15-20.
Lower limit, l=15, h=5, f=80 and cf=55
∴Median=l+(N2−cff)×h=15+(100−5580)×5=15+(4516)=15+2.81=17.81hec
(ii) In a given table 80 is the highest frequency.
So, the modal class is 15-20.
Here , l=15, fm=80,f1=30,f2=40 and h=5
∴Mode=l+(fm−f12fm−f1−f2)×h=15+(80−302×80−30−40)×5=15+(50160−70)×5=15+(5090)×5=15×259=15+2.77=17.77 hec
