Mean of Grouped Data –
1.) Direct Method –
When the variates x₁, x₂, x₃,……………………, xₑ have frequencies f₁, f₂, f₃,………………., fₑ respectively, then the mean is given by the formula –
(f₁x₁ + f₂x₂ + f₃x₃ +………………+fₑxₑ) ∑fₐxₐ
Mean = --------------------------------- = ---------
(f₁ + f₂ + f₃ +……………….+ fₑ) ∑fₐ
Ans.) From the
above data, we may prepare the table which is given below –
Weight (in Kg) xₐ Number of Students (Frequency) fₐ fₐxₐ
42 4 168
45 3 135
46 5 230
48 2 96
49 1 49
52 4 208
∑fₐ = 19 ∑fₐxₐ = 886
∑fₐxₐ 886
So, Mean Weight = --------- = ------- = 46.63 kg
∑fₐ 19
Hence the mean weight of the given team is 46.63 kg. (Ans.)
Ans.) We have,
Marks (a) Number of Students (f) (f X a)
5 6 30
6 A 6A
5 16 80
7 13 91
8 B 8B
9 8 72
∑f = 43 + A + B ∑(fa) = 273 + 6A + 8B
As per the given condition –
∑f = 43 + A + B
Now, 50 = 43 + A + B
=> A + B = 7 …………………(i)
∑(f X a)
Also, Mean => ------------ = 7.2
∑f
273 + 6A + 8B
=> ----------------- = 7.2
50
=> 273 + (6A + 6B + 2B) = (7.2 X 50)
=> 273 + 6(A + B) + 2B = 360
=> (6 X 7) + 2B = 360 – 273
[substitute the value of (A + B) = 7]
=> 42 + 2B = 87
=> 2B = 87 – 42 = 45
=> B = 45/2 = 22.5
Now, we will substitute the value of B in (i), and we get –
A + B = 7
=> A = 7 – B = 7 - 22.5 = - 15.5
As we know number of students cannot be fraction or negative.
So, the desires value of A is 16 and B is 23 (Ans.)
