Question

The given distribution shows the number of runs scored by some top batsmen of the world in one-day international cricket matches. 

Find the mode of the data.

Answer 1

Maximum number of batsmen are in the class 4000 – 5000. 

∴ Modal class is 4000 – 5000. 

Lower boundary of the modal class ‘l’ = 4000

Frequency of the modal class, f₁ = 18 

Frequency of the class preceding the modal class, f₀ = 4 

Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class, f₂ = 9 

Height of the class, h = 1000
