For the following distribution, calculate mean using all suitable methods:
Size of item: | 1-4 | 4-9 | 9-16 | 16-27 |
Frequency: | 6 | 12 | 26 | 20. |
To do:
We have to calculate mean using all suitable methods.
Solution:
Let the assumed mean be $A=12.5$.
Using direct method, we get,
We know that,
Mean $=\frac{\sum{f_ix_i}}{\sum{f_i}}$
Therefore,
Mean $=\frac{848}{64}$
$=13.25$
Using shortcut method, we get,
Mean $=A+\frac{\sum{f_id_i}}{\sum{f_i}}$
Therefore,
Mean $=12.5+\frac{48}{64}$
$=12.5+\frac{3}{4}$
$=12.5+0.75$
$=13.25$
The mean of the given distribution is $13.25$.
