Measures of Central TendencyMODE (Grouped Data) Prepared by: Ryan L. Race Jenelyn A. Samsaman Rafaela M. Sarmiento Jorge O. Dela Cruz Maria Theresa S. Parajas Luningning B. Federizo
Purpose/Rationale of this Module This module is designed to provide students with a step by step discussion on the computation of the mode for grouped data. It is to let the students discover for themselves how to compute for the mode (grouped data) through an easy visual presentation of the subject. Enjoy!
What Will You Learn From This Module? After studying this module, you should be able to: • Compute the mode for grouped data. • Use mode for grouped data to analyze and interpret data to solve problems in daily life.
Let’s See What You Already Know • Before you start studying this module, take the following test first to find out how prepared you are to solve for the mode of grouped data.
Find the mode of each of the following sets of numbers. a. 2, 4, 5, 1, 4, 6 b. 77, 80, 90, 65, 77, 89, 80 c. 1299, 2580, 4098, 9100, 1100 Answer Answer Answer
Answer: 4 Click me to answer letter b.
Answer: 77 and 80 Click me to answer letter c.
Answer: No Mode Go Back CONTINUE
For the next set of questions, refer to the given frequency distribution table of the grades of a group of students. CONTINUE
1. What is the modal class? ANSWER
ANSWER: 75 – 79 The modal class is the class with the highest frequency. CONTINUE
2. What is the lower class boundary of the modal class? ANSWER
ANSWER: Lmo = 74.5 CONTINUE
ANSWER: fmo = 12 CONTINUE
4. What is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class? ANSWER
ANSWER: f1 = 8 CONTINUE
5. What is the frequency of the class after the modal class? ANSWER
ANSWER: f2 = 3 CONTINUE
6. What is the class size? ANSWER
ANSWER: i = 5 CONTINUE
Observe how the modal grade of the students is computed. Mode (Mo) = +{[( – )]/[2( ) – – ]} = 74.5 + (4/13)5 = 74.5 + (20/13) = 76.04 74.5 12 8 12 8 3 5 CONTINUE
8 is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class (f1)
How did we solve for the modal grade of the students?Can you give the formula for the mode of grouped data? CONTINUE
To solve for the mode of grouped data, use the formulaMo = Lmo+{( fmo – f1 )/( 2fmo – f1 – f2 )}i where, Lmo is the lower class boundary of the modal class, fmo is the frequency of the modal class, f1 is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class, f2 is the frequency of the class after the modal class, and i is the class size. CONTINUE
Let’s Practice! The following distribution gives the number of hours allotted by 50 students to do their assignments in a week. Find the modal hour. SOLUTION
Modal Class : Lmo : fmo : f1 : f2 : i :
Modal Class : Lmo : 9 – 12 fmo : f1 : f2 : i :
Modal Class : Lmo : 9 – 12 8.5 fmo : f1 : f2 : i :
Modal Class : Lmo : 9 – 12 8.5 14 fmo : f1 : f2 : i :
Modal Class : Lmo : 9 – 12 8.5 14 12 fmo : f1 : f2 : i :
Modal Class : Lmo : 9 – 12 8.5 14 12 10 fmo : f1 : f2 : i :
Modal Class : Lmo : 9 – 12 8.5 14 12 10 4 fmo : f1 : f2 : Compute the mode i :
Mo = 8.5 + {[14 – 12] / [2(14) – 12 -10]}4 = 8.5 + (2/6)4 = 8.5 + 1.33 = 9.83 CONTINUE
More Practice? SKIP Find the mode using the frequency distribution of the heights of 40 students. SOLUTION
Mo = 63.5 + {[10 – 8] / [2(10) – 8 - 9]}3 = 63.5 + (2/3)3 = 63.5 + 2 = 65.5 NEXT
EVALUATE YOURSELF Find the mode of 20 students whose scores on a 15-point test are given in the following distribution: SOLUTION
Mo = 6.5 + {[8 – 4] / [2(8) – 4 - 5]}3 = 6.5 + (4/7)3 = 6.5 + 1.714 = 8.21 NEXT
Try Another One A sample of 40 tourists traveled to Puerto Galera with the distribution based on the length of their stay (in years). Find the mode. SOLUTION
Mo = 0.5 + {[8 – 0] / [2(8) – 0 - 7]}8 = 0.5 + (8/9)8 = 0.5 + 7.1 = 7.1
