Question

Q33. The following data gives the information on the observed lifetimes (in hours) of 225
electrical components
Denemine the modul lifetimes of the components​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here , frequency of class interval 60−80 is maximum.

So, it is the modal class

Now, l= Lower limit of modal class =60

f

1

= Frequency of modal class =61

f

0

= Frequency of class preceding the modal class =52

f

2

= Frequency of class succeeding the modal class =38

h= Class interval width = 20

So, Mode =l+(

Mode =65.625

Therefore, modal lifetime of electrical components is 65.625 hours
