Definition!
Averages are also known as measures of central location. There are three types of averages. They
i, Mean
i, Median
ili, Mode
Calculation Mean by interval type:

Mode: Mode is the value that occurs most often.
Mode can be calculated by following methods.
1. Individual observation
2. Discrete series
3. Interval Type
Example:
Mode from equal intervals
