32. Calculate the mean and variance for the following distribution using short-cut method
classes 30 - 40 40- 50 50 - 60 60 - 70 70 - 80 80 - 90 90 - 100
frequency 3 7 12 15 8 3 2
Answers
Answer:
Mean = 64.7
Variance = 212.54
Step-by-step explanation:
Classes Frequency (f) X d = f*d
30 - 40 3 35 -3 -9 882.09 2646.27
40 - 50 7 45 -2 -14 388.09 2716.63
50 - 60 12 55 -1 -12 94.09 1129.08
60 - 70 15 65 0 0 0.09 1.35
70 - 80 8 75 1 8 106.09 848.72
80 - 90 3 85 2 6 412.09 1236.27
90 - 100 2 95 3 6 918.09 1836.18
∑f = 50 ∑f*d = -15 =10414.5
Mean formula using short-cut method is given by;
Mean, = where, A = assumed mean = Here 65
Mean = = 65 - 0.3 = 64.7
Variance formula = = = 212.54 .
