| Number | 7 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 17 |
| Frequency | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
∴ Mode is 12
(ii) Uses of Mode : Mode is the average to be used to find the ideal size, e.g., in business forecasting, in manufacture of ready-made garments, shoes etc.
(c) Empirical Relation between Mode, Median & Mean : Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
RANGE
The range is the difference between the highest and lowest scores of a distribution. It is the simplest measure of dispersion. It gives a rough idea of dispersion. This measure is useful for ungrouped data.
(a) Coefficient of the Range : If l and h are the lowest and highest scores in a distribution then the coefficient of the Range = (h - l)/(h + l).
