Ex 13.2, 4 The following distribution gives the state-wise teacher-student ratio in higher secondary schools of India. Find the mode and mean of this data. Interpret the two measures. Finding Mode Mode = l + (š1 āš0)/(2š1 āš0 āš2) Ć h Modal class = Interval with highest frequency = 30 ā 35 where l = lower limit of modal class h = class-interval f1 = frequency of the modal class f0 = frequency of class before modal class f2 = frequency of class after modal class Putting Values in formula Mode = l + (š1 āš0)/(2š1 āš0 āš2) Ć h = 30 + (10 ā9)/(2(10) ā 9 ā 3) Ć 5 = 30 + 1/(20 ā12) Ć 5 = 30 + 5/8 = 30 + 0.625 = 30.625 Now, Finding Mean Mean(š„ Ģ ) = a + h Ć (āāšššš)/(āāšš) Where a = assumed mean h = Class interval Also, āāšš = 35 āāšššš = ā58 Putting values in formula Mean(š Ģ ) = a + h Ć (āāšššš)/(āāšš) š„ Ģ = 37.5 + 5 Ć (ā58)/35 š„ Ģ = 37.5 ā 8.286 š Ģ = 29.214 Thus, Most states have student-teacher ratio 30.625 (Mode) and Average student-teacher ratio is 29.214 (Mean)
