Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Mode = L1 + (\(\frac{D_1}{D_1 + D_2}\))C

D1 = frequency of modal class - frequency of the class before it

D1 = 5 - 2 = 3

D2 = frequency of modal class - frequency of the class that offers it

D2 = 5 - 3 = 2

L1 = lower class boundary of the modal class

L1 = 5 - 5

C is the class width = 8 - 5.5 = 3

Mode = L1 + (\(\frac{D_1}{D_1 + D_2}\))C

= 5.5 + \(\frac{3}{2 + 3}\)C

= 5.5 + \(\frac{3}{5}\) x 3

= 5.5 + \(\frac{9}{5}\)

= 5.5 + 1.8

= 7.3 \(\approx\) = 7

There is an explanation video available below.
