The expenditure of 1000 families is given below:
Expenditure(InRs.) 40-59 60-79 80-99 100-119 120-139 No. Of Families ? 150 ? 250 50
The mean for the distribution is Rs 87.50.Calculate the missing frequencies.
Answers
Here is the answer of the given question
Answer:
Missing frequencies are 50 and 500.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Expenditure(In Rs.) 40-59 60-79 80-99 100-119 120-139
No. Of Families ? 150 ? 250 50
Mean of the given data = 87.50
Total number of families = 1000
here we need to find missing frequencies
Let missing frequencies is a and b
And here we will use step deviation method to calculate mean
from given data mean lies in 80-99 class,
so 89.5 taken as assumed mean A
now calculate following values in given table
C.I frequency(f) mid point(x) u= f u
40-59 a 49.5 -2 -2a
60-79 150 69.5 -1 -150
80-99 b 89.5(A) 0 0
100-119 250 109.5 1 250
120-139 50 129.5 2 100
∑f = a+b+450 ∑fu = -2a+200
from given data total number of families = 1000
⇒ a+150+b+250+50 = 1000
⇒ a+b+ = 1000-450 = 550
⇒ a + b = 550 _(1)
As we know mean of a data in step deviation method
= A+ [ ∑fu/∑f]×C
from given data
-2a+200 = 100
-2a = -100
a = 50
(1) ⇒ 50 + b = 550
⇒ b = 500
