Median No. 8 lies in three cumulative frequencies. The value corresponding to first such cumulative
frequency is 15.
So median = 15

12. (A)
Here maximum frequency a belongs to two values of the items 12 and 14. However due to irregular
distribution of frequency, using the method of grouping to decide which one may be considered
maximum frequency.

Separate analysis table is as follows

Analysis table

Since occurs maximum numbers of items, hence the value 12 is the mode.

13. (C)
The class-interval (45-50) has the maximum frequency i.e. 20. Therefore, model class is (45-50)
The formula for calculating mode is
fm f1
Mode L1 i
2 fm f1 f 2
L 45, fm 20, f1 12, f 2 15, i 5
20 12
Mode 45 5
2 20 12 15
45 3.07
48.1

14. (A)
Model value is 48.6. It means that the model class is 40-5. Hence f1 20, fm 44, f 2 is missing
frequency which can be calculated by applying the following formula.
fm f1
Mode L1 i

15. (A)

In this case, values 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 each has occurred twice. It may consider their five values are
model values.
However the logical conclusion is that mode is ill-designed.
