    MODE

    The value that occur maximum number of times is known as mode. When the terms are
    arranged in accenting order if each of the terms is occurring once, then there is no mode.
    Mode is denoted as Z.

    If all numbers occur once and some terms occur equal number of times then Mode =
    3median – 2Mean.

    Q1. Find Mode.

    1. Assenting order
    2. Maximum occurring value

    Q2. Compute Mode

    x 40 25 60 35 80 75 90 55 10 30
    Hint: 3 median – 2 mean mode= 42.5

    Empirical Formula=> 3median = Mode + 2Mean

    F 10 20 25 70 35 15 8 7

    Grouping Method

    Mode is the item with maximum frequency. But when there is no marked difference
    between the maximum frequency and the next maximum frequency, it may not be possible
    to locate mode by mere inspection. In such a case it is desirable to prepare a grouping table
    and an analysis table. The table helps us in ascertaining the value of mode.

    Steps:

    1. Prepare a grouping table with 6 frequency columns


    2. In column 1, write down frequencies against each class
    3. In Column 2, frequencies are grouped in twos starting from top
    4. In column 3, leave the first and group the remaining in twos
    5. In Column 4, the frequencies are grouped in threes starting from top
    6. In column 5, leave the first and group remaining in threes.
    7. In column 6, leave the first 2 and group remaining in threes.
    8. In each of these cases, take the maximum total (highest score) and mark it by
    drawing a circle.
    Prepare analysis table by putting Column numbers on right and various values of mode on
    left. The value against which the value is maximum are marked in the grouping table are
    entered in analysis table by means of ‘X’ mark in the relevant box corresponding to the
    values they represent. The value having the largest number of X mark is the mode Z (or
    Model Class)

    Continuous class

    f 1−f 0
    Mode (Z) = L1+ ( L -L )
    2 f 1−f 0−f 2 2 1

    1. In case of bi-modal series, the value of mode is ill-defined. In such a case mode is
    calculated by using the empirical formula
    Mode= 3Median – 2Mean
    2. If 2f1-f0-f2 comes out to be zero, the value of mode is obtained by using the following
    formula:
    f 1−f 0
    Z = L1+ ( L -L )
    |f 1−f 0|+¿ f 1−f 2∨¿ ¿ 2 1
    3. If the frequency of the preceding class is greater than the frequency of the Modal
    class then Mode would be
    f2
    Z = L1+ ( L -L )
    f 0+ f 2 2 1
