A student noted the number of cars passing through a spot on a road for 100 periods each of 3 minutes and summarized it in the table given below. Find the mode of the data:


Number of cars:



0-10



10-20



20-30



30-40



40-50



50-60



60-70



70-80



Frequency:



7



14



13



12



20



11



15



8


From the given data we may observe that maximum class frequency is 20 belonging to the class interval 40-50

So, modal class= 40-50


Lower limit, l= 40


f0=12, f2=11, f=20,h = 10



=
