Mode = Lmo + (Δ1/ Δ1 + Δ2) * i = 20 + (22-20) / (22-20) + (22-20)* 10= 25
Median: It is addressed as most important statistical time that determines the middle value of the collected information (Platt and Huettel, 2008). The calculation of median for the present research is carried out below: Median = Lower limit + (60- CF of Previous Class Interval) /Frequency * Class interval = 30 + (60-42)/20*10 = 30+18/20 *10 = 30+9 = 39
