Find the mode of the following distribution of marks obtained by 80 students:

In the given data,


The maximum class frequency is 32. So, the modal class is 30-40.


Lower limit(l) of modal class = 30


Class size(h) = 40 - 30 = 10


Frequency(f1) of modal class = 32


Frequency(f0) of class preceding the modal class = 12


Frequency(f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 20


And we know,



Substituting values, we get
