Mode Formula
Mode = Highest Frequency Term
Example: Find the mode of the given data set 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5.
Solution:
Given set is {1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5}
As the above data set is arranged in ascending order.
By observing the above data set we can say that,
Mode = 2
As, it has highest frequency (3)
Mode of Grouped Data
The mode of the grouped data is calculated using the formula:
Mode = l + [(f1 + f0) / (2f1 – f0 – f2)] × h
where,
- f1 is the frequency of the modal class,
- f0 is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class,
- f2 is the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class,
- h is the size of class intervals, and
- l is the lower limit of modal class.

Mean, Median and Mode
Mean, Median, and Mode are measures of the central tendency. These values are used to define the various parameters of the given data set. The measure of central tendency (Mean, Median, and Mode) gives useful insights about the data studied, these are used to study any type of data such as the average salary of employees in an organization, the median age of any class, the number of people who plays cricket in a sports club, etc.
Let’s learn more about the Mean, Median, and Mode Formulas, Examples, and FAQs in this article.
