The marks distribution of 30 students in a mathematics examination are given in the adjacent table. Find the mode of this data. Also compare and interpret the mode and the mean.
Class interval Number of students ( fi) Class Marks (xi ) fixi
10-25 2 17.5 35.0
25-40 3 32.5 97.5
40-55 7 47.5 332.5
55-70 6 62.5 375.0
70-85 6 77.5 465.0
85-100 6 92.5 555.0
Total Σ fi = 30 Σ fixi = 1860.0

Answer:
Mean = 62
Mode = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
Class interval Number of students ( fi) Class Marks (xi ) fixi
10-25 2 17.5 35.0
25-40 3 32.5 97.5
40-55 7 47.5 332.5
55-70 6 62.5 375.0
70-85 6 77.5 465.0
85-100 6 92.5 555.0
Total Σ fi = 30 Σ fixi = 1860.0
Mean = Σ fixi = 1860.0/Σ fi = 30 = 62
Mode lies in 40-55 as 7 is max
Estimated mode = 40 + (15) (7 - 3)/{(7 -3) + (7-6)}
= 40 + 15 * 4/5
= 40 + 12
= 52
mode < Mean
