The following table shows the ages of the patients admitted in a hospital during a year:Find the mode and the mean of the data given above. Compare and interpret the two measures of central tendency.

Explanation

Here, Maximum frequency is `23`.

So, Modal class will be corresponding class to `23` that is , `35-45`.

Now, Mode can be given by formula,

`Mode = l+(f_1-f_0)/(2f_1-f_0-f_2)**h`

Here, `l =` Lower limit of modal class `= 35`

`f_1 = ` Frequency of Modal class `= 23`

`f_2 = ` Frequency of Pre Modal class `= 21`

`f_3 = ` Frequency of Succeeding Modal class `= 14`
