Statisticsis a study on collection of data.
Mean, Median and mode are called Measures of Central Tendency
Mean = X/n

Median
11:02:00 AM
Median: Middle value of the collection
Find the cumulative frequency
Find N/2 = f / 2
See the cumulative the frequency just greater than N/2
Corresponding value of x is the median class
Apply the formula
Median = L + [(N/2 – c)/f]*h
L – Lower limit of the median class
f- frequency of the median class
c- cumulative frequency of the preceding to median class
h- width of the class interval

Mode
11:02:00 AM
Mode: is the value which present most frequently in a set of
observations
Mode =
Maximum frequency is the modal class
f_1 is the frequency of the modal class
f_0 is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class
f_2 is the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
