Definition of Symbols
L is the lower class boundary of the group containing the median
n is the total number of value
B is the cumulative frequency of the groups before the median group
G is the frequency of the median group
w is the group width.

Values
L = 84.5 n = 155 B = 36 G =18 W=3

Solution:

MODE
𝒇𝒎 − 𝒇𝒎−𝟏
𝑴𝒐𝒅𝒆 = 𝑳 + ∗𝒘
(𝒇𝒎 − 𝒇𝒎−𝟏 ) + (𝒇𝒎 − 𝒇𝒎+𝟏 )
Definition of symbols:

L - is the lower class boundary of the modal group

𝒇𝒎−𝟏 – is the frequency of the group before the modal group
fm - is the frequency of the modal group
fm +1 - is the frequency of the group after the modal group
w - is the group width.

Values:
L = 87.5 𝒇𝒎−𝟏 = 18 fm = 39 fm +1 = 36 w=3

Solution:

𝑓𝑚 − 𝑓𝑚−1
𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑒 = 𝐿 + ∗𝑤
(𝑓𝑚 − 𝑓𝑚−1 ) + (𝑓𝑚 − 𝑓𝑚+1 )
