If the meas of the following distribution is 27, find the value of P,
Class0−1010−2020−3030−4040−50Frequency8P121310
We can draw the following table:-
Class Interval | Class Marks(x) | Frequency(f) | (x)(f) |
0-10 | 5 | 8 | 40 |
10-20 | 15 | p | 15p |
20-30 | 25 | 12 | 300 |
30-40 | 35 | 13 | 455 |
40-50 | 45 | 10 | 450 |
43+p | 1245+15p |
Since,
Mean = ¯¯¯x=∑fixi∑fi
27=1245+15p43+p
1161+27p=1245+15p
12p=84⇒p=7
