MODE OF GROUPED DATA

AND MIDRANGE
MODE OF GROUPED
DATA
Mode of Grouped Data

• Mode is the value that has the highest

frequency in a data set.

• For grouped data, class mode (or, modal

class) is the class with the highest
frequency.
Mode of Grouped Data

Formula:

Mode = Lmo + ( ∆1
∆1 +∆2 )i
Mode of Grouped Data

Where:

Lmo - is the lower class boundary of the modal group

∆1 - the difference between frequency of class mode and the
frequency of the class after the class mode
∆2 - the difference between the frequency of class mode and the
frequency of the class before the class mode
i– is the class width
Mode of Grouped Data

Example: Based on the grouped data below , find the mode.

Mode of Grouped Data
Age Number
Example:
0–9 20 The ages of the 112
10 – 19 21 people who live on a
20 – 29 23 tropical island are
30 – 39 16 grouped as follows:
40 – 49 11
50 – 59 10
60 – 69 7
70 - 79 3
80 - 89 1
MIDRANGE
Midrange

• In statistics, the midrange of a set of statistical data

values is the arithmetic mean of the maximum values in
a data set.
• Number that is halfway between the highest and the
lowest number of your data set.
Midrange
Find the highest and the
Formula:
lowest numbers in your data
set
M = max + min

Midrange
• Sample Problem:

Current cell phone prices in a mobile phone store

range from 2,000 php (cheapest) 30,000 php
(most expensive). Find the midrange.
