Here, maximum class frequency is 18 and the class corresponding to frequency is 4000-5000. So, the modal class = 4000-5000.
Now,

 top enclose straight x space equals space A plus fraction numerator begin display style sum from blank to blank of end style f subscript i u subscript i over denominator begin display style sum from blank to blank of end style f subscript i end fraction x space h

Thus, we have    Modal class = 4000-5000, l = 4000, f1 = 18, f0 = 4, f2 = 9 and h = 1000
Now, substituting these values in the formula of mode, we get

Mode space equals space straight l plus open square brackets fraction numerator straight f subscript 1 minus straight f subscript 0 over denominator 2 straight f subscript 1 minus straight f subscript 0 minus straight f subscript 2 end fraction close square brackets straight x space straight h
equals space 4000 plus open square brackets fraction numerator 18 minus 4 over denominator 2 space straight x space 18 minus 4 minus 9 end fraction close square brackets straight x 1000
equals 4000 plus 14000 over 23 equals 4000 plus 608.7 equals 4608.7
Hence, the mode of the data is 4608.7.
