Question

Consider the following frequency distribution:
$\begin{matrix} Class: & 0 - 6 & 6 - 12 & 12 - 18 & 18 - 24 & 24 - 30 Frequency : & a & b & 12 & 9 & 5 \end{matrix}$
If mean $= \frac{309}{22}$ and median $= 14,$ then the value $(a - b)^{2}$ is equal to

Solution

$¯ x = \frac{\sum x_{i} f_{i}}{\sum f_{i}} = \frac{3 a + 9 b + 504}{a + b + 26} = \frac{309}{22} \Rightarrow 81 a + 37 b = 1018 \dots (1)$
$Median = 12 + \frac{13 + \frac{a + b}{2} - (a + b)}{12} \times 6 = 14 \Rightarrow a + b = 18 \dots (2)$

From $(1)$ and $(2), a = 8$ and $b = 10$
