---------------
`n = 100`-----`sum f*x=1995`-----


Mean `bar x = (sum fx)/n`

`=1995/100`

`=19.95`



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 `10 - 20`.

`:.` The median class is `10 - 20`.

Now,
`:. L = `lower boundary point of median class `=10`

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

`:. cf = `Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class `=40`

`:. f = `Frequency of the median class `=20`

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

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

`=10 + (50 - 40)/20 * 10`

`=10 + (10)/20 * 10`

`=10 + 5`

`=15`



Mode :
The given data is uni-model.
Hence, we find the mode with the help of the formula.
`Z = 3M - 2 bar x`

`=3 * 15 - 2 * 19.95`

`=45 - 39.9`

`=5.1`

---------------
`n = 40`-----`sum f*x=486`-----


Mean `bar x = (sum fx)/n`

`=486/40`

`=12.15`



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

= value of `(40/2)^(th)` observation

= value of `20^(th)` observation

From the column of cumulative frequency `cf`, we find that the `20^(th)` observation lies in the class `10 - 14`.

`:.` The median class is `9.5 - 14.5`.

Now,
`:. L = `lower boundary point of median class `=9.5`

`:. n = `Total frequency `=40`

`:. cf = `Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class `=13`

`:. f = `Frequency of the median class `=15`

`:. c = `class length of median class `=5`

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

`=9.5 + (20 - 13)/15 * 5`

`=9.5 + (7)/15 * 5`

`=9.5 + 2.3333`

`=11.8333`



Mode :
The given data is uni-model.
Hence, we find the mode with the help of the formula.
`Z = 3M - 2 bar x`

`=3 * 11.8333 - 2 * 12.15`

`=35.5 - 24.3`

`=11.2`
