Answer
Steps :
Draw a histogram of the given distribution.
Inside the highest rectangle, which represents the maximum frequency (or modal class), draw two lines LO and ND diagonally from the upper corners N and O of adjacent rectangles.
Through point P (the point of intersection of diagonals LO and ND), draw PR perpendicular to the horizontal axis.
The value of point R on the horizontal axis represents the value of mode.
∴ Mode = 21.5
Hence, mode = 21.5
