    The document discusses the concept and calculation of mode as a measure of central tendency. It defines mode as the value that appears most often in a data set. It provides examples of calculating mode for both ungrouped and grouped data, and describes how to graphically represent mode using a histogram. The document also discusses the relationship between different measures of central tendency like mean, median, and mode.

    BBA 104 1
    Outline
    • Concept of mode as a measure of central
    tendency.
    • Calculating mode for both group and ungroup
    data.
    • Graphical presentation of mode.
    • Relationship between different measures of
    central tendency.

    BBA 104 2
    • The mode of a set of data values is the value that appears
    most often.[The mode of a sample is the element that
    occurs most often in the collection. The mode is not
    necessarily unique to a given distribution since the
    probability mass function may take the same maximum
    value at several points x1, x2, etc
    • A statistical term that refers to the most frequently
    occurring number found in a set of numbers. The mode is
    found by collecting and organizing the data in order to
    count the frequency of each result. The result with the
    highest occurrences is the mode of the set.

    • Number occuring maximum number of times
    is the mode.

    Grouping & Analysis Method For
    Calculating Mode
    • Sometimes maximum frequency is repeated
    more than once or concentration around the
    highest frequency is less compared to the
    concentration of frequencies that is more near
    the other frequencies, in such cases mode
    cannot be calculated directly. Here, grouping
    & analysis method is used.

    BBA 104 11
    BBA 104 12
    Graphical Representation Of
    Mode
    Step : 1 Represent the data in the form of a Histogram.
    The height of the rectangles in the histogram is marked
    by the frequencies of the class interval
    Step : 2 Identify the highest rectangle. This corresponds
    to the modal class of the series.
    Step : 3 Join the top corners of the modal rectangle with
    the immediately next corners of the adjacent rectangles.
    The two lines must be cutting each other.
    Step : 4 Draw a perpendicular line from the point where
    the joining lines cut each other onto the x-axis. The point
    where the perpendicular will meet the x-axis will give the
    mode.

    Advantages
    • Mode value is easy to understand and to
    calculate. Can be located by inspection.
    • Is not affected by the extreme values in the
    distribution
    • Can be computed for open ended series
    • Can be used to describe quantitative as well as
    qualitative data.

    BBA 104 15
    Relationship between Mean,
    Median , Mode
    • Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
    The average monthly income from interest for a
    housewife is Rs. 810 & the related mean is Rs.
    795. Calculate modal interest income.
