When observations are grouped into class intervals, the interval that contains the most frequently occurring value is known as the modal class.

What is a modal class interval?

It is the class interval with most number of observations.


How can you get the frequency of the preceding class interval when the modal class is the first class interval?

You cannot have a preceding class to the first class. There is no zeroth class.

What is modal class in maths?

The class that has the highest frequency (number)


What is the modal class in a grouped data if there are two classes with the same highest frequency?

They are both modal classes - the distribution is bi-modal.


What is the difference between mode and modal class?

If you have a set of individual observations, the mode is the observation that occurs the most often.However, with very large sets, you may wish to group the data into classes. In that case, the class with the largest frequency is the modal class.The modal class need not contain the mode. Also, the modal class depends on how the classes are defined.


What is the difference between modal class height and modal height?

The modal height is the value of height which has the largest number of observations. The modal class height is the height for which the class has the greatest number. An example: Heights: 161, 163, 163, 171, 172, 173, 174 Modal height: 163 (2 observations, all others are unique). If the classes are 161-170, 171-180 then modal class height = 171-180 with 4 observations.

What if there a two modal class?

The distribution is bimodal. That is all there is to it.


What is the difference between Class centre and modal class?

How can you get the mode of a grouped data if there are two classes that both have the highest frequency?

If there are more than one class intervals which have the same frequency (equally qualifying to be the mode class) then both of the classes will be the mode class. this is called bimodal. However to calculate the mode of grouped data use the following formula Mode = L + [ (F - F1) / { (F - F1) + (F - F2) } ] * h where L = Lower limit of the modal class F = Frequency of the modal class F1 = Frequency of the class immediately previous of modal class F2 = Frequency of the class immediate next of modal class h = Range of the modal class (higher limit - lower limit) this is what i found out after reading books and understanding them. Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks, Salman Ahmad


What does modal class mean in mathematics?

It means that you have to find the number that you can see there more than once Like 2,5,6,4,6,1,9 6 will be the modal class because its shown more than once
