Answer 1

Answer:

mean daily expenditure on food  = 207

Step-by-step explanation:

Daily expenditure  Mean Expenditure   House hod    House hold * mean

100 - 150                   125                            4                      500

150 - 200                  155                            5                      775

200 - 250                 225                            12                   2700

250 - 300                 275                            2                     550

300 - 350                 325                            2                     650  

Total                                                          25                     5175

Mean = 5175 / 25 = 207

mean daily expenditure on food  = 207
