Answer:
Value of p = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the mean of following distribution;
X f X*f
15 2 30
17 3 51
19 4 76
20 + p 5*p 100*p +
23 6 138
∑f = 15+5*p ∑X*f = 295+100*p +
Mean of the data is given by, X bar =
20 =
20(15 + 5*p) = 295+100*p +
300 + 100*p = 295+100*p +
= 300 - 295 = 5
= 5/5 = 1
p = 1
Therefore, value of p for the given distribution is 1 .
