Question #1
The mode of a continuous frequency distribution can be estimated using the formula:
A. L + (h / 2)
B. L + [(f₁ - f₀) / (f₁ - f₂)] × h
C. L + [(f₀ - f₁) / (f₀ + f₁)] × h
D. L + [(f₁ - f₀) / (2f₁ - f₀ - f₂)] × h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For grouped data, mode = L + [(f₁ - f₀) / (2f₁ - f₀ - f₂)] × h, where L=lower limit of modal class, f₁=frequency of modal class, f₀=previous class frequency, f₂=next class frequency, h=class width.
