Calculate Mode using Grouping Method from the following grouped data

0 - 104
10 - 202
20 - 3018

Solution:
Mode using Grouping Method :
1) In column-I, write the original frequency
2) In column-II, combine the frequency two by two, starting from top
3) In column-III, combine the frequency two by two, starting from second
4) In column-IV, combine the frequency three by three, starting from top
5) In column-V, combine the frequency three by three, starting from second
6) In column-VI, combine the frequency three by three, starting from third

1) 22 is the maximum value in the column-I and it is an individual frequency of Class 30-40. Therefore, we have tick(✓) this Class.
2) 40 is the maximum value in the column-II and it is the sum of 18 and 22; i.e., of Class 20-30 and 30-40. Therefore, we have tick(✓) this both Class.
2) 40 is the maximum value in the column-II and it is the sum of 21 and 19; i.e., of Class 40-50 and 50-60. Therefore, we have tick(✓) this both Class.
3) 43 is the maximum value in the column-III and it is the sum of 22 and 21; i.e., of Class 30-40 and 40-50. Therefore, we have tick(✓) this both Class.
4) 62 is the maximum value in the column-IV and it is the sum of 22, 21, and 19; i.e, of Class 30-40, 40-50 and 50-60. Therefore, we have tick(✓) this three Class.
5) 50 is the maximum value in the column-V and it is the sum of 21, 19, and 10; i.e, of Class 40-50, 50-60 and 60-70. Therefore, we have tick(✓) this three Class.
6) 61 is the maximum value in the column-VI and it is the sum of 18, 22, and 21; i.e, of Class 20-30, 30-40 and 40-50. Therefore, we have tick(✓) this three Class.

Since 5 is the maximum ticks repeated 2 times, So grouping method fails to give the modal class.

We use formula Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean

Find Mean, Median

80 - 9018544100
------------------
`n = 100`----------`sum f*d=-28`-----


Mean `bar x = A + (sum fd)/n * h`

`=45 + (-28)/100 * 10`

`=45 + (-0.28) * 10`

`=45 -2.8`

`=42.2`



To find Median Class
= value of `(n/2)^(th)` observation

= value of `(100/2)^(th)` observation

= value of `50^(th)` observation

From the column of cumulative frequency `cf`, we find that the `50^(th)` observation lies in the class `40 - 50`.

`:.` The median class is `40 - 50`.

Now,
`:. L = `lower boundary point of median class `=40`

`:. n = `Total frequency `=100`

`:. cf = `Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class `=46`

`:. f = `Frequency of the median class `=21`

`:. c = `class length of median class `=10`

Median `M = L + (n/2 - cf)/f * c`

`=40 + (50 - 46)/21 * 10`

`=40 + (4)/21 * 10`

`=40 + 1.9048`

`=41.9048`



We have given Mean (`bar X`) `=42.2`, Median(`M`) `=41.9048`, Mode(`Z`) `=?`

`Z=3 M - 2 bar X`

`Z=3*41.9048-2*42.2`

`Z=125.7144-84.4`

`Z=41.3144`
