Modal Class is 20 - 25, l = 20, f1 = 75, f0 = 45, f2 = 35, h = 5
Mode = 20 + \(\left({ { 75-45}\over{ 2\times75-45-35} } \right)\times5\)
= 20 + \({ { 30 }\over{ 70 } }\times5=20+{ {15 }\over{ 7} }=22.142\) = 22.14

| Total | N=50 |
Here , \(\frac { N }{ 2 } =\frac { 50 }{ 2 } =25\)
Hence, rnedian class is 30 - 40.
13.
Modal class = 5-7
l = 5 , f1=80,f0=45,h=2,f2=55
Mode = \(l+\frac { (f_{ 1 }f_{ 0 }) }{ 2f_{ 1 }-f_{ 0 }-f_{ 2 } } \times h\)
\(=5+\frac { 80-45 }{ 160-45-55 } \times 2=5+\frac { 35\times 2 }{ 60 } \)
= 6.17
14.
Modal class = 35-40
l=35, f1=50 , f2=42 , f0=34 , h=5
Mode = l+ \(\frac { (f_{ 1 }-f_{ 0 }) }{ 2f_{ 1 }-f_{ 0 }-f_{ 2 } } \times h\)
\(=35+\frac { 50-34 }{ 100-34-42 } \times 5\)
\(=35+\frac { 16\times 5 }{ 24 } =38.33\)
15.
Modal class = 20 - 30
l=20,f1=40 , f0=24,f2=36 , h=10
Mode = l + \(\frac { \left( f_{ 1 }-f_{ 0 } \right) }{ 2f_{ 1 }-f_{ 0 }-f_{ 2 } } \times h\)
\(=20+\frac { \left( 40-24 \right) }{ 80-24-36 } \times 10\)
\(=20+\frac { 16\times 10 }{ 20 } =28\)
16.
According to the question, Mode = 24.5
and Mean = 29.75
The relationship connecting measures of central tendencies is :
3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean
3 Median = 24.5 + 2 x 29.75
= 24.5 + 59.50
3 Median = 84.0
Median = \(\frac { 84 }{ 3 } =28\)

Median class : 40 - 50 \(\Rightarrow \) Lower Limit =40
Modal class : 40 - 50 \(\Rightarrow \) Upper Limit = 50
Their sum = 40+50=90

Here \(\frac { N }{ 2 } =\frac { 60 }{ 2 } =30\)
So , Median Class = 20-30
l=20, f=30 , c.f =20 , h=10
Median = l + \(\left( \frac { \frac { N }{ 2 } -c.f }{ f } \right) \times h\)
=20+ \(\frac { 30-20 }{ 30 } \times 10\)
\(=20+\frac { 100 }{ 30 } =20+\frac { 10 }{ 3 } \)

24.
Modal class is 30 - 35, f = 30,f1 = 25, f0 = 10,f2 = 7, h =5
Mode = l+ \(\left( \frac { f_{ 1 }-f_{ 0 } }{ 2f_{ 1 }-f_{ 0 }-f_{ 2 } } \right) \times h\Rightarrow \)Mode = 30+ \(\frac { 25-10 }{ 50-10-7 } \times 5\)
= 30+2.27 or 32.27 approx.
25.
Given ,
Mode = 50.5

Here, we have the cumulative frequency distribution of less than type. We observe that the number of students getting marks less than 10 is 14 and 22 students have marks less than 20.
Therefore, number of students getting marks between 10 and 20 is 22-14=8. Similarly, the number of students getting marks between 20 and 30 is 37-22=15 and so on.
Thus, we have the following frequency distribution table
| Marks | Number of students |
|---|---|
| 0-10 | 14 |
| 10-20 | 22-14=8 |
| 20-30 | 37-22=15 |

| 28-30 | 29 | 13 | 377 |
| Total | \(\sum { f_{ i }=30 } \) | \(\sum { f_{ i }x_{ i } } =780\) |
Here, \(\sum { f_{ i }=30 } \) and \(\sum { f_{ i }x_{ i } } =780\)
Mean \(\overline { x } =\frac { \sum { f_{ i }x_{ i } } }{ \sum { f_{ i } } } =\frac { 780 }{ 30 } =26\)
Hence, the mean number of pages written per day is 26.

| Total | \(\sum { f_{ i }=100 } \) | \(\sum { f_{ i }x_{ i } } =1228+24k\) |
Here, \(\sum { f_{ i }=100 } \), \(\sum { f_{ i }x_{ i } } =1228+24k\) and mean=16.6
Mean\(=\frac { \sum { f_{ i }x_{ i } } }{ \sum { f_{ i } } } \Rightarrow 16.6=\frac { 1228+24k }{ 100 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 16.6\times 100=1228+24k\\ \Rightarrow \quad 24k=1660-1228=432\Rightarrow k=\frac { 432 }{ 24 } =18\)

The cumulative frequency table for given data is
| Class interval | Frequency | Cumulative frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 65-85 | 4 | 4 |
| 85-105 | 5 | 9 |
| 105-125 | 13 | 22 |
| 125-145 | 20 | 42 |
| 145-165 | 14 | 56 |
| 165-185 | 7 | 63 |
| 185-205 | 4 | 67 |
Here, \(\frac { n }{ 2 } =\frac { 67 }{ 2 } =33.5\)
The cumulative frequency just greater than 33.5 is 42 and the corresponding class is 125-145.
Thus, we have median class 125-145.
Also, the maximum frequency is of the class 125-145.
Therefore, the modal class is 125-145.
Difference of the upper limit of median class and the lower limit of modal class=145-125=20
