Mode using the Empirical Formula

Given the data set:

17, 20, 21, 18, 25, 28, 24, 22, 16, 24, 25, 24

Step 1 — Sort the data

Sorted ascending:

16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 24, 24, 25, 25, 28

Step 2 — Mean

Sum = 264, N = 12 → Mean = 264 / 12 = 22

Step 3 — Median

Even number of items (12). Median = average of 6th and 7th values = (22 + 24)/2 = 23

Step 4 — Apply empirical formula

The empirical relation is:

Mode = 3 × Median − 2 × Mean

Mode = 3 × 23 − 2 × 22 = 69 − 44 = 25
