The following data provides information on the observed lifetimes (in $hours$) of $225$ electrical components:

Lifetimes (in hours)	$0-20$	$20-40$	$40-60$	$60-80$	$80-100$	$100-120$
Frequency	$10$	$35$	$52$	$61$	$38$	$29$

Determine the modal lifetimes of the components.

The lengths of $40$ leaves of a plant are measured correct to the nearest millimetre,and the data obtained is represented in the following table:

Length (in mm)	Number of leaves
$118-126$	$3$
$127-135$	$5$
$136-144$	$9$
$145-153$	$12$
$154-162$	$5$
$163-171$	$4$
$172-180$	$2$

Find the median length of the leaves.

The following data gives the distribution of total monthly household expenditure of $200$ families of a village. Find the modal monthly expenditure of the families. Also,find the mean monthly expenditure:
$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Expenditure (in Rs)} & \text{Number of families} \\ \hline 1000-1500 & 24 \\ 1500-2000 & 40 \\ 2000-2500 & 33 \\ 2500-3000 & 28 \\ 3000-3500 & 30 \\ 3500-4000 & 22 \\ 4000-4500 & 16 \\ 4500-5000 & 7 \\ \hline \end{array}$

$A$ survey conducted on $20$ households in a locality by a group of students resulted in the following frequency table for the number of family members in a household:

Family size	$1-3$	$3-5$	$5-7$	$7-9$	$9-11$
Number of families	$7$	$8$	$2$	$2$	$1$

Find the mode of this data.

The median of the following data is $525$. Find the values of $x$ and $y$,if the total frequency is $100$.

Class interval	Frequency
$0-100$	$2$
$100-200$	$5$
$200-300$	$x$
$300-400$	$12$
$400-500$	$17$
$500-600$	$20$
$600-700$	$y$
$700-800$	$9$
$800-900$	$7$
$900-1000$	$4$

$A$ survey was conducted by a group of students as a part of their environment awareness programme,in which they collected the following data regarding the number of plants in $20$ houses in a locality. Find the mean number of plants per house.

Number of plants	$0-2$	$2-4$	$4-6$	$6-8$	$8-10$	$10-12$	$12-14$
Number of houses	$1$	$2$	$1$	$5$	$6$	$2$	$3$

Which method did you use for finding the mean,and why?
