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
