The following frequency distribution shows the daily savings of 64 children in A locality Daily savings (in rs) No. Of children
1-3 7
3-5 6
5-7 x 7-9 13
9-11 y
11-13 5
13-15 4
If mean savings is 8,then find the missing frequencies x and y.
Answers
Answer:
x = 9
y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given with the following frequency distribution;
Daily savings(in Rs) No. of children (f) X X * f
1 - 3 7 2 14
3 - 5 6 4 24
5 - 7 x 6 6*x
7 - 9 13 8 104
9 - 11 y 10 10*y
11 - 13 5 12 60
13 - 15 4 14 56
∑f = 35+x+y ∑X*f = 258+6*x+10*y
We are given that total number of children = 64
64 = 35 + x + y
y = 29 - x ------------ [Equation 1]
Mean formula is given by =
8 =
8(35 + x + y) = 258 + 6*x + 10*y
8(35 + x + 29 - x) = 258 + 6*x + 10*(29 - x)
8 * 64 = 258 + 6*x + 290 - 10*x
4*x = 548 - 512
x = 36/4 = 9
Now, putting value of x in equation 1 we get, y = 29 - 9 = 20
Answer:
if the mean savings is rs 8 than find the missing x and y total no of children 64
