if mean is 14.7 find the value of p and q see the image please solve by step deviation method
Answers
Answer:
p = 5.4 and q = 8.6 .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are provided with the following data below :
Class Interval Frequency (f) Class (x) d = f*d
0 - 6 10 3 -3 -30
6 - 12 p 9 -2 -2p
12 - 18 4 15 -1 -4
18 - 24 7 21 0 0
24 - 30 q 27 1 q
30 - 36 4 33 2 8
36 - 42 1 39 3 3
∑ f = 26+p+q = 40 ∑f*d = -23-2p+q
Here, Class (x) is calculated by finding the mid-value of each class interval and here A is assumed to be 21 and h is width of class interval i.e. 6.
Now, the Step-Deviation method for calculating mean is given by;
Mean =
14.7 =
Since, we are given ∑f = 40 so 26 + p + q = 40
From here, q = 14 - p .
Putting this value of q in Mean formula we get,
14.7 =
14.7 =
(14.7 - 21)*4 = -9 - 3*p
p = 5.4 and q = 14 - 5.4 = 8.6 .
