Measures of Central Tendency
In a distribution, there may be one, two, or more than two modes. A distribution
which has a single mode is called unimodal distribution and a distribution which
has two modes is called a bimodal distribution (Figures 3.20 and 3.21).
** Identify the Modal Class first; the Class with the highest frequency will be the
modal class
Example: Determine the mode from the data
given below:
Profit (in lacs) Number of Companies
(f)
0 - 20 8
20-40 15
40-60 36
60-80 22
80-100 12
100-120 7
Example 1: The number of new orders received by a company
over last 25 working days were recorded as follows:
3,0,1,4,4,4,2,5,3,6,4,5,1,4,2,3,0,2,0,5,4,2,3,3,1
Calculate the Mean, Median and Mode from the following data
given below:
Frequency 1 4 8 7 3 2
