Mode in statistics | How to calculate the mode | Mode formula.

Mode in statistics :
Mode
Mode definition :
For example, some data such as follows :
2, 1, 2, 5, 4, 2, 2, 7, 8, 2.
Here, 2 value repeated 5 times that is repeated many times as compared another data. Therefore, 2 is Mode."
It is straight forward to calculate mode in case of individual and discrete data.

             Mean        Median        Quartile

How do you find the mode of Individual Data ?
Que. 1) The following are the marks of 10 students. Calculate the mode.
60, 67, 76, 56, 77, 67, 48, 67, 89, 90.
Ans. :
Marks           : 48  56  60  67  76  77  89  90
Frequency  :  01  01  01  03  01  01  01  01
Here 67 mark repeated many times that is 3 times.
therefore, Mode = 67.

Que. 2) The following are the height in cm of 12 students. Calculate the mode.
40, 41, 43, 41, 46, 47, 41, 41, 40, 42, 41,  46.
Ans. :
Heights        : 40  41  42  46  47
Frequency  :  02  05  01  03  01
Here 41 cm  height repeated many times that is 5 times.
therefore, Mode = 41.

How do you find the mode of discrete data?
Que. 1) Calculate the mode from the following data.
x : 15   20   25   30   35   40
f : 10    12   56   32   08   06
Ans. :
Here maximum frequency 56 corresponds to value 25. hence, Mode = 25.

Que. 2) Calculate the mode from the following data.
age ( x )                               : 25    26    27    28   29    30    31
number of persons ( f )        : 04    06   17    75    21    62   02
Ans. :
Here maximum frequency 75 corresponds to value 28. hence, Mode = 28.

How do you find the mode of continues data?
For calculate of mode in case of continues frequency distribution following rules are to be follow.
Rule 1 : Find modal class. Modal class is the class having maximum frequency.
Rule 2 : Formula,
Mo = L1 + [ ( f1 - f0 ) / ( 2f1 - f0 - f2) ] × i
Where, 
L1 = the lower limit of the modal class,
f1 = frequency of the modal class,
f0 = frequency of the previous class,
f2 = frequency of the next class,
i = class interval of the modal class.

Que. 1) Calculate mode of the following distribution showing x - Wages in Rs. and f - No. of workers.
x : 70-80, 80-90, 90-100, 100-110
f :       7           10         15             6         
Ans. :
Here the maximum frequency is 15, therefore modal class = 90 - 100.
f1  = 15
f0 = 10
f2 = 06
i = 10
L1 = 90
Mo = L1 + [ ( f1 - f0 ) / ( 2f1 - f0 - f2) ] × i
Mo = 90 + [ ( 15 - 10 ) / ( 30 - 10 - 6 ) ] × 10
Mo = 90 + ( 5 / 14 ) × 10
      = 90 + 0. 3571 × 10
       = 90 + 3. 5714
       = 93.5714
      = 93.57
therefore, Mode = Rs. 93.57

Series Order tricks : A category of three, four or some numbers is given in the competitive examination. There is a mutual relationship among these numbers. The same relationship has to be understand and the same basis is to be increased further. Examples : 1) What will be the next number in the following series. 3, 10, 31, 94, ----- Ans. : Each terms is increasing by : ( n × 3 ) + 1. Therefore, ( 3 × 3 ) + 1 = 10 ( 10 × 3 ) + 1 = 31 ( 31 × 3 ) + 1 = 94 ( 94 × 3 ) + 1 = 283 Therefore, next number : 283. 2) Find the next order in the category. 1, 4, 9, 16, ---- Ans. : Each term is a squares of consecutive numbers. therefore, 5 × 5 = 25. therefore, next number = 25. Examples : Q. What will be the next number in the following series .  1) 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, ---- Ans. : The difference in each term is increasing in the form of consecutive numbers. that is 3 + 3 = 6. 06 + 4 = 10. 10 + 5 = 15. 15 + 6 = 21. 21 + 7 = 28.

Quartiles : Quartile Definition : " All data divided four equal parts is known as Quartile. " It is clear that the items which divided the data into four equal parts lie at the quarter, half and three quarters, of the way down the arrangement. Quartile denoted by Q1 means first quartile, Q2 means second quartile, Q3 means third quartile respectively. Clearly the second quartile is the Median item. Mean         Median          Mode Quartile Formulas : For Individual items and Discrete Distribution : 1) First Quartile = Q1 = Size of [ ( N + 1 ) / 4 ]th item. 2) Third Quartile = Q3 =  Size of 3 × [ ( N + 1 ) / 4 ]th item For Continues Distribution : 1)  First Quartile = Q1 = Size of [ N / 4 ]th item. 2) Third Quartile= Q3 =Size of 3 × [ N / 4 ] th item Quartiles Examples : Computation of Quartiles for Individual Data : 1) Calculate the first, second and third quartile from the following values weights in kg of a group of students. 50, 51
