Question 18
The weight of coffee in 70 packets are shown in the following table
Weight | 200-201 | 201-202 | 202-203 | 203-204 | 204-205 | 205-206 |
Number of packets | 12 | 26 | 20 | 9 | 2 | 1 |
Determine the model weight.
In the given data, the highest frequency is 26, which lies in the interval 201-202
Here, l=201
fm=26,f1=12,f2=20 and (class width) h = 1
∴ Mode =l+(fm−f12fm−f1−f2)×h⇒Mode=201+(26−122×26−12−20)×1
=201+(1452−32)=201+1420=201+0.7=201.7 g
Hence, the modal weight is 201.7 g.
