18. The frequency distribution table of agriculture holdings in a village is given below :
Area of land (in hectares) : 1-3 3-5 5-7 7-9 9-11 11-13
Number of families : 20 45 80 55 40 12
Find the modal agriculture holdings of the village .
Solution
The maximum class frequency is 80. The class corresponding to this frequency is 5-7.
So, the modal class is 5-7.
l(the lower limit of modal class) = 55
f1 (frequency of the modal class) = 80
fo (frequency of the class preceding the modal class) = 45
f2 (frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) = 55
h (class size) = 2
Mode = l+(f1-fo/2f1-fo-f2) × h
= 5 + (80-45/2×80-45-55) × 2
= 5 + 35/60 × 2
= 5 + 35/60
= 6.2
19. The monthly income of 100 families are given as below :
| Income in | Number of families |
| 0-5000 | 8 |
| 5000 - 10000 | 26 |
| 10000 - 15000 | 41 |
| 15000 - 20000 | 16 |
| 20000 - 25000 | 3 |
| 25000 - 30000 | 3 |
| 30000 - 35000 | 2 |
| 35000 - 40000 | 1 |
Calculate the modal income .
Solution
The maximum class frequency is 41. The class corresponding to this frequency is 5-7.
So, the modal class is 10000-15000.
l (the lower limit of modal class) = 10000
f1 (frequency of the modal class) = 41
fo (frequency of the class preceding the modal class) = 26
f2 (frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) = 16
h (class size) = 5000
Mode = l+(f1-fo/2f1-fo-f2) × h
= 10000 + (41-26/2 × 41-26 - 16) × 5000
= 10000 + 15/40 × 5000
= 10000 +1875
= 11875
