0 - 5000 8
5000 - 10000 26
10000 - 15000 41
15000 - 20000 16
20000 - 25000 3
25000 - 30000 3
30000 - 35000 2
35000 - 40000 1
Calculate the modal income

Solution:

Given, the monthly income of 100 families.

We have to find the modal income.

Mode = l + [(f₁ - f₀)/(2f₁ - f₀ - f₂)]h

Where, l is the lower limit of the modal class

f₁ is the frequency of the modal class

f₀ is the frequency preceding the modal class

f₂ is the frequency succeeding the modal class

h is the class size

From the table,

Maximum frequency = 41

This frequency lies in the class 10000 - 15000

l = 10000

h = 5000

f₁ = 41

f₀ = 26

f₂ = 16

Now, f₁ - f₀ = 41 - 26 = 15

2f₁ - f₀ - f₂ = 2(41) - 26 - 16

= 82 - 42

= 40

[(f₁ - f₀)/(2f₁ - f₀ - f₂)] = 15/40

= 3/8

Now, mode = 10000 + (3/8)(5000)

= 10000 + (15000/8)

= 10000 + 1875

= 11875

Therefore, the modal income is 11875.
