Where Lm is the Lower class boundary of the median class
N is the number of observations
C fbmis the cumulative frequency of the class before the median
class
Fm is the frequency of the median class
Cm is the class interval of the median class

Therefore the Median is UGX 25,400
Mode= Lm+ ( ∆ 1+∆ 1∆2 ) c
Lm is the lower class boundary
∆1is the difference between the frequency of the modal class and
and that of the class before.
∆2is the difference between the frequency of the modal class and
and that of the class after.
Therefore, Mode =19.5+ ( 12+5

=19.5+( 17 ) 5

=23.03
Therefore the mode is UGX 23,030
