Mode Of Grouped Data:
It is possible that more than one value may have the same maximum frequency. In such situations, the data is said to be multimodal. Though grouped data can also be multimodal, we shall restrict ourselves to problems having a single mode only.
Example : The wickets taken by a bowler in 10 cricket matches are as follows:
2 6 4 5 0 2 1 3 2 3
Find the mode of the data.
Solution: Let us form the frequency distribution table of the given data as follows:
Number of wickets | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Number of matches | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Clearly , 2 is the number of wicktes taken by the bowler in the maximum number ( i.e, 3) of matches. So, the mode of this data is 2.
In a grouped frequency distribution, it is not possible to determine the mode by looking at the frequencies. Here, we can only locate a class with the maximum frequency, called the modal class. The mode is a vlaue inside the modal class, and is given by the formula:
where l = lower limit of the modal class,
h = size of the class interval ( assumibg all class sizes to be equal )
= frequency of the modal class,
= frequency of the class preceding the modal class,
= frequency of the class succeeding the modal class.
Let us consider the following examples to illustrate the use of this formula.

My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
