Solution

The correct option is A

188 , -100, 200, -2 ,-1 and 2


fi= sum of frequencies of each class = 40 + 39 + 34 + 30 + 45 = 188

di = xi - a

where xi = ith class mark

a = assumed mean

Using above formula for 1st class(0-100) we get-

-200 = 50 – a

a = 250

Using above formula for 2nd class(100-200) we get-

B = 150 – 250

B = -100

Similarly, C = 200.

ui = (di)h

Here h = class interval = 100. h is constant.

For 1st class(0-100),

u1 = d1h= -200/100 = -2

Thus, D = -2

Similarly E = -1, F = 2


Answers are 188 , -100, 200, -2 ,-1 and 2
