The following data gives the information on the observed lifetimes (in hours) of 225 electrical components:


Lifetimes (in hours):



0-20



20-40



40-60



60-80



80-100



100-120



No. of components:



10



35



52



61



38



29



Determine the modal lifetimes of the components.

From the data as given above we may observe that maximum class frequency 61 belonging to the class interval 60 -80

So, modal class = 60-80


l=60, f1=61, f0=52, f2=38, h=20
