Σfi=80

Σfixi=2830

From the table, we get
Σfi=80 Σfixi=2830 We know that,
Mean=ΣxifiΣfi
Mean=283080
Mean=35.37
We also know that,
Mode =l+f-f12f-f1-f2×h
Where:
llower limit of the modal class
ffrequency of the modal class
f1frequency of the class preceding the modal class
f2frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
hclass width
From the given table, we get that the maximum frequency is 23 and the corresponding class is 35-45. Therefore, 35-45 is the modal class.
According to the situation,
l=35, h=10, f=23, f1=21 and f2=14 Putting the values in the formula, we get
Mode=35+23-2146-21-14×10 Mode=35+211×10
Mode=35+2011
Mode=35+1.81
Mode=36.81 Therefore, the mode of the given frequency distribution is 36.81 and the mean is 35.37.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
