Find Median:
Here N = 25, 5/3 = 25/2 = 12.5 or 13, it lies in the class interval = 50-200.
l = 150, F = 10, f = 6, h = 50
Using median formula, we get

= 150 + 20.83
= 170.83
Find Mean:
Using mean formula we get

= 175 – 6
= 169
Find Mode:
Using mode formula we get

= 150 + 25
= 175

Also,
l = 40, f = 20, f1 = 12, f2 = 11 and h = 10
By using mode formula, we get

= 40 + 4.70
= 44.7

Here, N = 34
N/2 = 34,
Class interval = 25-145
Also,
l = 125, F = 22, f = 20 and h = 20
By using the median formula, we get

= 125 + 12
= 137 units
Find Mean:
By using the mean formula, we get
Mean =

Find Median:
Here, N = 100
So, N/2 = 50
Class interval = 7-10
l = 7, F = 36, f = 40 and h =3
By using the median formula, we get

= 7 + 1.05
= 8.05
Find Mean:
By using the mean formula, we get
Mean = 
= 8.5 + 0.18
= 8.32
Find Mode:
We have,
N = 100
N/2 = 100/2 = 50
Here, the cumulative frequency is just greater than N/2 = 76,
Hence, the median class = 7 – 10
l = 7, h = 10 – 7 = 3, f = 40, F = 36
By using the mode formula, we get
Mode = l + 
= 7 + 
= 7 + 30/34
= 7 + 0.88
= 7.88

Find Mean:
By using the mean formula, we get
Mean = 
Find Median:
We have,
N = 50
Then, N/2 = 50/2 = 25
Here, the cumulative frequency just greater than N/2 = 36
Hence, the median class = 60 – 80
l = 60, h = 80 – 60 = 20, f = 12, F = 24
By using the median formula, we get
Median = l + 
= 60 + 
= 60 + 20/12
= 60 + 1.67
= 61.67
Find Mode:
We have,
The maximum frequency = 12
Model class = 60 – 80
l = 60, h = 80 – 60 = 20, f = 12, f1 = 10, f2 = 6
By using the mode formula, we get
Mode = l + 
= 60 + 
= 60 + 40/8
= 65
Question 16. 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:
Expenditure |

1000 – 1500 |
24 |
3000 – 3500 |

2000 – 2500 |
33 |
4000 – 4500 |
16 |
2500 – 3000 |
28 |
4500 – 5000 |
7 |
Solution:
From the given table we conclude that
The maximum class frequency = 40
So, modal class = 1500 – 2000
l = 1500, f = 40, h = 500, f1 = 24, f2 = 33
By using the mode formula, we get
Mode = l + 
= 1500 + 
= 1500 + 
= 1500 + 347.826
= 1847.826 ≈ 1847.83
Hence, the modal monthly expenditure = Rs. 1847.83
Now we will find class marks as
Class mark = 
Class size (h) of given data = 500
Let mean(a) = 2750, now we are going to calculate diui as follows:

From the table we conclude that
∑fi = 200
∑fidi = -35
Mean
= a + 
= 2750 + 
= 2750 – 87.5
= 2662.5
Hence, the mean monthly expenditure = Rs. 2662.5
Question 17. 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:
From the given table we conclude that
The maximum class frequency = 18
So, modal class = 4000 – 5000
and
l = 4000, f = 18, h = 1000, f1 = 4, f2 = 9
By using the mode formula, we get
Mode = l + 
= 4000 + 
= 4000 + (14000/23)
= 4000 + 608.695
= 4608.695
Hence, the mode of given data = 4608.7 runs.
Question 18. The frequency distribution table of agriculture holdings in a village is given below:
Area of land (in hectares): |
1 – 3 |
3 – 5 |
5 – 7 |
7 – 9 |
9 – 11 |
11 – 13 |
Number of families |
20 |
45 |
80 |
55 |
40 |
12 |
Find the modal agriculture holdings of the village.
Solution:
From the given table we conclude that
The maximum class frequency = 80,
So, the modal class = 5-7
and
l = 5, f0 = 45, h = 2, f1 = 80, f2 = 55
By using the mode formula, we get
Mode = l + 
= 5 + 
= 5 +
= 5 + 
= 5 + 1.2
= 6.2
So, the modal agricultural holdings of the village = 6.2 hectares.
Question 19. The monthly income of 100 families are given as below:
Income in (in Rs) |
Number of families |
0 – 5000 |
8 |
5000 – 10000 |
26 |
10000 – 15000 |
41 |
15000 – 20000 |
16 |
20000 – 25000 |
3 |
25000 – 30000 |
3 |
30000 – 35000 |
2 |
35000 – 40000 |
1 |
Calculate the modal income.
Solution:
From the given table we conclude that
The maximum class frequency = 41,
So, modal class = 10000-15000.
Here, l = 10000, f1 = 41, f0 = 26, f2 = 16 and h = 5000
Therefore, by using the mode formula, we get
Mode = l + 
= 10000 +
= 10000 + 
= 10000 + 
= 10000 + 15 × 125
= 10000 + 1875
= 11875
So, the modal income = Rs. 11875.
