Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Mode = a + (b - a)(fm - Fb)
2Fm - Fa - Fb
= 3.0 + \(\frac{(3.4 - 3)(15 - 4)}{2(15) - 4 - 10}\)
= 3 + \(\frac{(6.4)(11)}{30 - 14}\)
= 3 + \(\frac{4.4}{16}\)
= 3 + 0.275
= 3.275
= 3.3cm
Mode = a + (b - a)(fm - Fb)
2Fm - Fa - Fb
= 3.0 + \(\frac{(3.4 - 3)(15 - 4)}{2(15) - 4 - 10}\)
= 3 + \(\frac{(6.4)(11)}{30 - 14}\)
= 3 + \(\frac{4.4}{16}\)
= 3 + 0.275
= 3.275
= 3.3cm
