Question 14. Find the mean of the following frequency distribution:

Class interval:	25 – 29	30 – 34	35 – 39	40 – 44	45 – 49	50 – 54	55 – 59
Frequency:	14	22	16	6	5	3	4

Solution:

Let’s consider the assumed mean (A) = 42

Class interval Mid – value x_i d_i= x_i– 42 u_i= (x_i– 42)/5 f_i f_iu_i

25 – 29 27 -15 -3 14 -42

30 – 34 32 -10 -2 22 -44

35 – 39 37 -5 -1 16 -16

40 – 44 42 0 0 6 0

45 – 49 47 5 1 5 5

50 – 54 52 10 2 3 6

55 – 59 57 15 3 4 12

N = 70 Σ f_iu_i= -79

From the table it’s seen that,

A = 42 and h = 5

Mean = A + h x (Σf_iu_i/N)

= 42 + 5 x (-79/70)

= 42 – 79/14

= 42 – 5.643

= 36.357

Question 15. For the following distribution, calculate mean using all suitable methods:

Size of item:	1 – 4	4 – 9	9 – 16	16 – 20
Frequency:	6	12	26	20

Solution:

By direct method

Class interval Mid value x_i Frequency f_i f_ix_i

1 – 4 2.5 6 15

4 – 9 6.5 12 18

9 – 16 12.5 26 325

16 – 27 21.5 20 430

N = 64 Sum = 848

Mean = (sum/N) + A

= 848/64

= 13.25

By assuming mean method

Let the assumed mean (A) = 65

Class interval Mid value x_i u_i = (x_i – A) = x_i – 65 Frequency f_i f_iu_i

1 – 4 2.5 -4 6 -25

4 – 9 6.5 0 12 0

9 – 16 12.5 6 26 196

16 – 27 21.5 15 20 300

N = 64 Sum = 432

Mean = A + sum/N

= 6.5 + 6.75

= 13.25

Question 16. The weekly observation on cost of living index in a certain city for the year 2004 – 2005 are given below. Compute the weekly cost if living index.

Cost of living index	Number of students	Cost of living index	Number of students
1400 – 1500	5	1700 – 1800	9
1500 – 1600	10	1800 – 1900	6
1600 – 1700	20	1900 – 2000	2

Solution:

Let the assumed mean (A) = 1650

Class interval Mid value x_i d_i = x_i – A = x_i – 1650 $u_i=(\frac{x_i-1650}{100})$ Frequency f_i f_iu_i

1400 – 1500 1450 -200 -2 5 -10

1500 – 1600 1550 -100 -1 10 -10

1600 – 1700 1650 0 0 20 0

1700 – 1800 1750 100 1 9 9

1800 – 1900 1850 200 2 6 12

1900 – 2000 1950 300 3 2 6

N = 52 Sum = 7

We have

A = 16, h = 100

Mean = A + h (sum/N)

= 1650 + (175/13)

= 21625/13

= 1663.46

Question 17. The following table shows the marks scored by 140 students in an examination of a certain paper:

Marks:	0 – 10	10 – 20	20 – 30	30 – 40	40 – 50
Number of students:	20	24	40	36	20

Calculate the average marks by using all the three methods: direct method, assumed mean deviation and shortcut method.

Solution:

(i) Direct method:

Class interval Mid value x_i Frequency f_i f_ix_i

0 – 10 5 20 100

10 – 20 15 24 360

20 – 30 25 40 1000

30 – 40 35 36 1260

40 – 50 45 20 900

N = 140 Sum = 3620

Mean = sum/N

= 3620/140

= 25.857

(ii) Assumed mean method:

Let the assumed mean = 25

Mean = A + (sum/N)

Class interval Mid value x_i u_i = (x_i – A) Frequency f_i f_iu_i

0 – 10 5 -20 20 -400

10 – 20 15 -10 24 -240

20 – 30 25 0 40 0

30 – 40 35 10 36 360

40 – 50 45 20 20 400

N = 140 Sum = 120

Mean = A + (sum/N)

= 25 + (120/140)

= 25 + 0.857

= 25.857

(iii) Step deviation method:

Let the assumed mean (A) = 25

Class interval Mid value x_i d_i = x_i – A = x_i – 25 $u_i=(\frac{x_i-25}{10})$ Frequency f_i f_iu_i

0 – 10 5 -20 -2 20 -40

10 – 20 15 -10 -1 24 -24

20 – 30 25 0 0 40 0

30 – 40 35 10 1 36 36

40 – 50 45 20 2 20 40

N = 140 Sum = 12

Mean = A + h(sum/N)

= 25 + 10(12/140)

= 25 + 0.857

= 25.857

Question 18. The mean of the following frequency distribution is 62.8 and the sum of all the frequencies is 50. Compute the miss frequency f₁ and f₂.

Class:	0 – 20	20 – 40	40 – 60	60 – 80	80 – 100	100 – 120
Frequency:	5	f₁	10	f₂	7	8

Solution:

Class interval Mid value x_i Frequency f_i f_ix_i

0 – 20 10 5 50

20 – 40 30 f_i 30f_i

40 – 60 50 10 500

60 – 80 70 f₂ 70f₂

80 – 100 90 7 630

100 – 120 110 8 880

N = 50 Sum = 30f₁ + 70f₂ + 2060

Given,

Sum of frequency = 50

5 + f₁ + 10 + f₂ + 7 + 8 = 50

f₁ + f₂ = 20

3f₁ + 3f₂ = 60 —(1) [Multiply both side by 3]

and mean = 62.8

Sum/N = 62.8

(30f₁ + 70f₂ + 2060)/50 = 62.8

30f₁ + 70f₂ = 3140 – 2060

30f₁ + 70f₂ = 1080

3f₁ + 7f₂ = 108 —(2) [divide it by 10]

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

3f₁ + 7f₂ – 3f₁ – 3f₂ = 108 – 60

4f₂ = 48

f₂ = 12

Put value of f₂ in equation (1)

3f₁ + 3(12) = 60

f₁ = 24/3 = 8

f₁ = 8, f₂ = 12

Question 19. The following distribution shows the daily pocket allowance given to the children of a multistory building. The average pocket allowance is Rs 18.00. Find out the missing frequency.

Class interval:	11 – 13	13 – 15	15 – 17	17 – 19	19 – 21	21 – 23	23 – 25
Frequency:	7	6	9	13	–	5	4

Solution:

Given mean = 18,

Let the missing frequency be v

Class interval Mid interval x_i Frequency f_i f_ix_i

11 – 13 12 7 84

13 – 15 14 6 88

15 – 17 16 9 144

17 – 19 18 13 234

19 – 21 20 x 20x

21 – 23 22 5 110

23 – 25 14 4 56

N = 44 + x Sum = 752 + 20x

Mean = sum/N

18 = 752 + 20×44 + x $\frac{752+20x}{44+x}$

792 + 18x = 752 + 20x

2x = 40

x = 20

Question 20. If the mean of the following distribution is 27. Find the value of p.

Class:	0 – 10	10 – 20	20 – 30	30 – 40	40 – 50
Frequency:	8	P	12	13	10

Solution:

Class interval Mid value x_i Frequency f_i f_ix_i

0 – 10 5 8 40

10 – 20 15 P 152

20 – 30 25 12 300

30 – 40 35 13 455

40 – 50 45 16 450

N = 43 + P Sum = 1245 + 15p

Given mean = 27

Mean = sum/N

1245 + 15p43 + p $\frac{1245+15p}{43+p}$ = 27

1245 + 15p = 1161 + 27p

12p = 84

P =7

Question 21. In a retail market, fruit vendors were selling mangoes kept in packing boxes. These boxes contain varying number of mangoes. The following was the distribution of mangoes according to the number of boxes.

Number of mangoes:	50 – 52	53 – 55	56 – 58	59 – 61	62 – 64
Number of boxes:	15	110	135	115	25

Find the mean number of mangoes kept in packing box. Which method of finding the mean did you choose?

Solution:

Number of mangoes Number of boxes

50 – 52 15

53 – 55 110

56 – 58 135

59 – 61 115

62 – 64 25

We may observe that class internals are not continuous

There is a gap between two class intervals. So we have to add ½ from lower class limit to each interval and class mark (x_i) may be obtained by using the relation

x_i = upperlimit + lowerclasslimit2 $\frac{upperlimit+lowerclasslimit}{2}$

Class size (h) of this data = 3

Now taking 57 as assumed mean (a) we may calculated d_i, u_i, f_iu_i as follows

Class interval Frequency f_i Mid values x_i d_i = x_i – A = x_i – 25 $u_i=(\frac{x_i-25}{10})$ f_iu_i

49.5 – 52.5 15 51 -6 -2 -30

52.5 – 55.5 110 54 -3 -1 -110

55.5 – 58.5 135 57 0 0 0

58.5 – 61.5 115 60 3 1 115

61.5 – 64.5 25 63 6 2 50

Total N = 400 Sum = 25

Now we have N

Sum = 25

Mean = A +h (sum/N)

= 57 + 3 (45/400)

= 57 + 3/16

= 57 + 0.1875

= 57.19

Clearly mean number of mangoes kept in packing box is 57.19

Question 22. The table below shows the daily expenditure on food of 25 households in a locality

Daily expenditure (In Rs):	100 – 150	150 – 200	200 – 250	250 – 300	300 – 350
Number of households:	4	5	12	2	2

Find the mean daily expenditure on food by a suitable method.

Solution:

We may calculate class mark (x_i) for each interval by using the relation

x_i = upperlimit + lowerclasslimit2 $\frac{upperlimit+lowerclasslimit}{2}$

Class size = 50

Now, Taking 225 as assumed mean (x_i) we may calculate d_i, u_i, f_iu_i as follows

Daily expenditure Frequency f₁ Mid value x_i d_i = x_i – 225 $u_i=(\frac{x_i-225}{50})$ f_iu_i

100 – 150 4 125 -100 -2 -8

150 – 200 5 175 -50 -1 -5

200 – 250 12 225 0 0 0

250 – 300 2 275 50 1 2

300 – 350 2 325 100 2 4

N = 25 Sum = -7

Now we may observe that

N = 25

Sum = -7

$Mean(\overline{x})=a+(sumN)\times h\overline{x}=a+(\frac{sum}{N})\times h$

225 + 50 (-7/25)

225 – 14 = 211

So, mean daily expenditure on food is Rs 211

Question 23. To find out the concentration of SO₂ in the air (in parts per million i.e ppm) the data was collected for localities for 30 localities in a certain city and is presented below:

Concentration of SO₂ (in ppm)	Frequency
0.00 – 0.04	4
0.04 – 0.08	9
0.08 – 0.12	9
0.12 – 0.16	2
0.16 – 0.20	4
0.20 – 0.24	2

Find the mean concentration of SO₂ in the air

Solution:

We may find class marks for each interval by using the relation

x = upperlimit + lowerclasslimit2x = $\frac{upperlimit+lowerclasslimit}{2}$

Class size of this data = 0.04

Now taking 0.04 assumed mean (x_i) we may calculate d_i, u_i, f_iu_i as follows

Concentration of SO₂ Frequency f₁ Class interval x_i` d_i = x_i – 0.14 u_i f_iu_i

0.00 – 0.04 4 0.02 -0.12 -3 -12

0.04 – 0.08 9 0.06 -0.08 -2 -18

0.08 – 0.12 9 0.10 -0.04 -1 -9

0.12 – 0.16 2 0.14 0 0 0

0.16 – 0.20 4 0.18 0.04 1 4

0.20 – 0.24 2 0.22 0.08 2 4

Total N = 30 Sum = -31

From the table we may observe that

N = 30

Sum = -31

$Mean(\overline{x})=a+(sumN)\times h\overline{x}=a+(\frac{sum}{N})\times h$

= 0.14 + (0.04)(-31/30)

= 0.099 ppm

So mean concentration of SO₂ in the air is 0.099 ppm.

Question 24. A class teacher has the following absentee record of 40 students of a class for the whole term. Find the mean number of days a student was absent.

Number of days:	0 – 6	6 – 10	10 – 14	14 – 20	20 – 28	28 – 38	38 – 40
Number of students:	11	10	7	4	4	3	1

Solution:

We may find class mark of each interval by using the relation

x = upperlimit + lowerclasslimit2x = $\frac{upperlimit+lowerclasslimit}{2}$

Now, taking 16 as assumed mean (a) we may

Calculate d_i and f_id_i as follows

Number of days Number of students f_i X_i d = x_i + 10 f_id_i

0 – 6 11 3 -13 -143

6 – 10 10 8 -8 -280

10 – 14 7 12 -4 -28

14 – 20 7 16 0 0

20 – 28 8 24 8 32

28 – 36 3 33 17 51

30 – 40 1 39 23 23

Total N = 40 Sum = -145

Now we may observe that

N = 40

Sum = -145

$Mean(\overline{x})=a+(sumN)\times \overline{x}=a+(\frac{sum}{N})$

= 16 + (-145/40)

= 16 – 3.625

= 12.38

So mean number of days is 12.38 days, for which student was absent.

Question 25. The following table gives the literacy rate (in percentage) of 35 cities. find the mean literacy rate.

Literacy rate (in %):	45 – 55	55 – 65	65 – 75	75 – 85	85 – 95
Number of cities:	3	10	11	8	3

Solution:

We may find class marks by using the relation

x = upperlimit + lowerclasslimit2x = $\frac{upperlimit+lowerclasslimit}{2}$

Class size (h) for this data = 10

Now taking 70 as assumed mean (a) wrong

Calculate d_i, u_i, f_iu_i as follows

Literacy rate (in %) Number of cities (f_i) Mid value x_i d_i = x_i – 70 u_i = d_i – 50 f_iu_i

45 – 55 3 50 -20 -20 -6

55 – 65 10 60 -10 -1 -10

65 – 75 11 70 0 0 0

75 – 85 8 80 10 1 8

85 – 95 3 90 20 2 6

Total N = 35 Sum = -2

Now we may observe that

N = 35

Sum = -2

$Mean(\overline{x})=a+(sumN)\times h\overline{x}=a+(\frac{sum}{N})\times h$

= 70 + (-2/35)

= 70 – 4/7

= 70 – 0.57

= 69.43

So, mean literacy rate is 69.43%

Question 21. In a retail market, fruit vendors were selling mangoes kept in packing boxes. These boxes contain varying number of mangoes. The following was the distribution of mangoes according to the number of boxes.

Number of mangoes:	50 – 52	53 – 55	56 – 58	59 – 61	62 – 64
Number of boxes:	15	110	135	115	25

Find the mean number of mangoes kept in packing box. Which method of finding the mean did you choose?

Solution:

Number of mangoes Number of boxes

50 – 52 15

53 – 55 110

56 – 58 135

59 – 61 115

62 – 64 25

We may observe that class internals are not continuous

There is a gap between two class intervals. So we have to add ½ from lower class limit to each interval and class mark (x_i) may be obtained by using the relation

x_i = upperlimit + lowerclasslimit2 $\frac{upperlimit+lowerclasslimit}{2}$

Class size (h) of this data = 3

Now taking 57 as assumed mean (a) we may calculated d_i, u_i, f_iu_i as follows

Class interval Frequency f_i Mid values x_i d_i = x_i – A = x_i – 25 $u_i=(\frac{x_i-25}{10})$ f_iu_i

49.5 – 52.5 15 51 -6 -2 -30

52.5 – 55.5 110 54 -3 -1 -110

55.5 – 58.5 135 57 0 0 0

58.5 – 61.5 115 60 3 1 115

61.5 – 64.5 25 63 6 2 50

Total N = 400 Sum = 25

Now we have N

Sum = 25

Mean = A +h (sum/N)

= 57 + 3 (45/400)

= 57 + 3/16

= 57 + 0.1875

= 57.19

Clearly mean number of mangoes kept in packing box is 57.19

Question 22. The table below shows the daily expenditure on food of 25 households in a locality

Daily expenditure (In Rs):	100 – 150	150 – 200	200 – 250	250 – 300	300 – 350
Number of households:	4	5	12	2	2

Find the mean daily expenditure on food by a suitable method.

Solution:

We may calculate class mark (x_i) for each interval by using the relation

x_i = upperlimit + lowerclasslimit2 $\frac{upperlimit+lowerclasslimit}{2}$

Class size = 50

Now, Taking 225 as assumed mean (x_i) we may calculate d_i, u_i, f_iu_i as follows

Daily expenditure Frequency f₁ Mid value x_i d_i = x_i – 225 $u_i=(\frac{x_i-225}{50})$ f_iu_i

100 – 150 4 125 -100 -2 -8

150 – 200 5 175 -50 -1 -5

200 – 250 12 225 0 0 0

250 – 300 2 275 50 1 2

300 – 350 2 325 100 2 4

N = 25 Sum = -7

Now we may observe that

N = 25

Sum = -7

$Mean(\overline{x})=a+(sumN)\times h\overline{x}=a+(\frac{sum}{N})\times h$

225 + 50 (-7/25)

225 – 14 = 211

So, mean daily expenditure on food is Rs 211

Question 23. To find out the concentration of SO₂ in the air (in parts per million i.e ppm) the data was collected for localities for 30 localities in a certain city and is presented below:

Concentration of SO₂ (in ppm)	Frequency
0.00 – 0.04	4
0.04 – 0.08	9
0.08 – 0.12	9
0.12 – 0.16	2
0.16 – 0.20	4
0.20 – 0.24	2

Find the mean concentration of SO₂ in the air

Solution:

We may find class marks for each interval by using the relation

x = upperlimit + lowerclasslimit2x = $\frac{upperlimit+lowerclasslimit}{2}$

Class size of this data = 0.04

Now taking 0.04 assumed mean (x_i) we may calculate d_i, u_i, f_iu_i as follows

Concentration of SO₂ Frequency f₁ Class interval x_i` d_i = x_i – 0.14 u_i f_iu_i

0.00 – 0.04 4 0.02 -0.12 -3 -12

0.04 – 0.08 9 0.06 -0.08 -2 -18

0.08 – 0.12 9 0.10 -0.04 -1 -9

0.12 – 0.16 2 0.14 0 0 0

0.16 – 0.20 4 0.18 0.04 1 4

0.20 – 0.24 2 0.22 0.08 2 4

Total N = 30 Sum = -31

From the table we may observe that

N = 30

Sum = -31

$Mean(\overline{x})=a+(sumN)\times h\overline{x}=a+(\frac{sum}{N})\times h$

= 0.14 + (0.04)(-31/30)

= 0.099 ppm

So mean concentration of SO₂ in the air is 0.099 ppm.

Question 24. A class teacher has the following absentee record of 40 students of a class for the whole term. Find the mean number of days a student was absent.

Number of days:	0 – 6	6 – 10	10 – 14	14 – 20	20 – 28	28 – 38	38 – 40
Number of students:	11	10	7	4	4	3	1

Solution:

We may find class mark of each interval by using the relation

x = upperlimit + lowerclasslimit2x = $\frac{upperlimit+lowerclasslimit}{2}$

Now, taking 16 as assumed mean (a) we may

Calculate d_i and f_id_i as follows

Number of days Number of students f_i X_i d = x_i + 10 f_id_i

0 – 6 11 3 -13 -143

6 – 10 10 8 -8 -280

10 – 14 7 12 -4 -28

14 – 20 7 16 0 0

20 – 28 8 24 8 32

28 – 36 3 33 17 51

30 – 40 1 39 23 23

Total N = 40 Sum = -145

Now we may observe that

N = 40

Sum = -145

$Mean(\overline{x})=a+(sumN)\times \overline{x}=a+(\frac{sum}{N})$

= 16 + (-145/40)

= 16 – 3.625

= 12.38

So mean number of days is 12.38 days, for which student was absent.

Question 25. The following table gives the literacy rate (in percentage) of 35 cities. find the mean literacy rate.

Literacy rate (in %):	45 – 55	55 – 65	65 – 75	75 – 85	85 – 95
Number of cities:	3	10	11	8	3

Solution:

We may find class marks by using the relation

x = upperlimit + lowerclasslimit2x = $\frac{upperlimit+lowerclasslimit}{2}$

Class size (h) for this data = 10

Now taking 70 as assumed mean (a) wrong

Calculate d_i, u_i, f_iu_i as follows

Literacy rate (in %) Number of cities (f_i) Mid value x_i d_i = x_i – 70 u_i = d_i – 50 f_iu_i

45 – 55 3 50 -20 -20 -6

55 – 65 10 60 -10 -1 -10

65 – 75 11 70 0 0 0

75 – 85 8 80 10 1 8

85 – 95 3 90 20 2 6

Total N = 35 Sum = -2

Now we may observe that

N = 35

Sum = -2

$Mean(\overline{x})=a+(sumN)\times h\overline{x}=a+(\frac{sum}{N})\times h$

= 70 + (-2/35)

= 70 – 4/7

= 70 – 0.57

= 69.43

So, mean literacy rate is 69.43%
