The document provides examples of calculating the mean from frequency distribution tables. It shows how to calculate the mean by summing the product of frequency and class mark and dividing by the total frequency. The direct method is used for small data sets while the class interval method is preferred for larger data sets to calculate the mean number of plants, daily wages, pocket money allowance, heartbeats, and mangoes per box. The class interval method involves determining the class boundaries, frequencies, class marks, deviations of class marks from the mean, and multiplying the deviations by the respective frequencies.

Q1. A survery was conducted by a group of students as a part of their environment awareness
programme, in which they collected the following data regarding the number of plants in 20
houses in a locality. Find the mean number of plants per house.
Number
of Plants 0-2 2-4 4-6 6-8 8-10 10-12 12-14
Number
of houses 1 2 1 5 6 2 3

Which method did you use for finding the mean, and why?
Sol. Let us find mean of the data by direct method because the figures are small.

Total n = 20 162

We have, n = fi = 20 and fixi = 162.


Then mean of the data is

1 1
x = × fixi = × 162 = 8.1
n 20

Hence, the required mean of the data is 8.1 plants.

fi = 44 + f 2f – 40

It is given that mean = 18.


From the table, we have
a = 18, n = 44 + f and fidi = 2f – 40
1
Now, mean = a + × fidi
n
Then substituting the values as given above, we have

18 = 18 + (44  f) × (2f – 40)
2f  40

Find the mode and the mean of the data given above. Compare and interpret the two
measures of central tendency.
Sol. From the given data, we have the modal class 35-45.
{ It has largest frequency among the given classes of the data}
So,  = 35, fm = 23, f1 = 21, f2 = 14 and h = 10.

Total n = 80 43

a = 30, h = 10, n = 80 and  fiui = 43


1 1
Mean= a + h × ×  fiui = 30 + 10 × × 43
n 80

= 30 + 5.37 = 35.37 years


Thus, mode = 36.8 years and mean = 35.37 years.
So, we conclude that the maximum number of patients admitted in the hospital are of the
age 36.8 years (approx), whereas on an average the age of a patient admitted to the
hospital is 35.37 years.

The length of 40 leaves of a plant are measured correct to the nearest millimetre, and the data
obtained is represented in the following table. Find the median length of the leaves.
Sol. The given series is in inclusive form. We may prepare the table in exclusive form and
prepare the cumulative frequency table as given below :

Length No. of Cumulative

126.5-135.5 5 8

171.5-180.5 2 40

N = 40

Here, N = 40
N
 = 20

The cumulative frequency just greater than 20 is 29 and the corresponding class is 144.5-
153.5.
So, the median class is 144.5-153.5.
  = 144.5, N = 40, C = 17, f = 12 and h = 9
