Answer» Answer: x = 9y = 20Step-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 |
