Consider the following grouped frequency distribution: x f 0-10 8 10-20 12 20-30 10 30-40 p 40-50 9 If the mean of the above data is 25.2, then what is the value of p?
Options
A. 9
B. 10
C. 11
D. 12
Correct Answer
11
Explanation
Mean = (sum of fixi/ (sum of f) = (8*5 + 12*15 + 10*25 + P*35 +9*45) / (8+12+10+P+9) = 25.2
2. The ratio of number of boys and girls in a class is 2 : 3. The average weight of boys and girls in the class is 18 kg and 21 kg respectively. What is the average weight (in kgs) of all the boys and girls together?
3. Seven friends spent Rs 14 each on a project and the eighth friend spent Rs 21 more than the average expenditure of all eight of them. What is the amount of total money (in Rs) spent by them?
5. A group of boys has an average weight of 36 kg. One boy weighing 42 kg leaves the group and another boy weighing 30 kg joins the group. If the average now becomes 35.7 kg, then how many boys are there in the group?
Median = mid value = average of 21st and 22nd value
Arranging data in increasing order we get
x f
4 6
5 4
6 5
7 4
8 6
9 9
10 8
So mid value i.e 21st and 22nd value = 8
