Find the mode and the mean of the data given above. Compare and interpret
the two measures of central tendency.
Solution. Mode:
Here, the maximum frequency is 23 and the class corresponding to this frequency is
3545. So, modal class is 3545.
Modal class = 35 45

x = 25 17 = 8
From equation (i) and equation (ii), we have
8 + y = 15
y = 15 8 = 7
Hence, the values of x and y are 8 and 7 respectively.

Locate 17.5 on the y-axis. From this point, draw a line parallel to the x-axis cutting
the curve at a point. From this point, draw a perpendicular to the x-axis. The point of
intersection of this perpendicular with the x-axis determines the medium of the given data
as 46.5 kg.
