Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Identifying the wrong modal class
  • Confusing f₀, f₁, f₂ in the formula
  • Not checking if the mode makes sense (should be within the modal class)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the mode formula for grouped data?

Mode = l + [(f₁ - f₀) / (2f₁ - f₀ - f₂)] × h, where l = lower limit of modal class, f₁ = frequency of modal class, f₀ and f₂ are adjacent frequencies, h = class width.
