Find the average expenditure (in rupees) per household.


Given:

The given table gives the distribution of total household expenditure (in rupees) of manual workers in a city.

To do:

We have to find the average expenditure (in rupees) per household.

Solution:

Let the assumed mean be $A=275$

  We know that,

Mean $=A+h \times \frac{\sum{f_iu_i}}{\sum{f_i}}$    

Therefore,  

Mean $=275+50\times\frac{-35}{200}$

$=275+\frac{-35}{4}$

$=275-8.75$

$=266.25$

The average expenditure (in rupees) per household is $266.25$.
