Question

Answer the following :

Given below is the frequency distribution of marks obtained by 100 students. Compute arithmetic mean and S.D.

Marks 40 - 49 50 - 59 60 - 69 70 - 79 80 - 89 90 - 99
No. of students 4 12 25 28 26 5
Sum

Solution

Since data is not continuous, we have to make it continuous.

Let u = `(x - "A")/"h" = (x - 74.5)/10`

Calculation of variance of u:

Marks
C. I.
Mid value
(xi)
No. of students
(fi)
ui = `(x_"i" - 74.5)/10` fiui fiui2
39.5 - 49.5 44.5 4 −3 −12 36
49.5 - 59.5 54.5 12 −2 −24 48
59.5 - 69.5 64.5 25 −1 −25 25
69.5 - 79.5 74.5 28 0 0 0
79.5 - 89.5 84.5 26 1 26 26
89.5 - 99.5 94.5 5 2 10 20
    N = 100   `sumf_"i"u_"i"` = – 25 `sumf_"i"u_"i"^2` = 155

`bar(u) = (sumf_"i"u_"i")/"N" = (-25)/100` = – 0.25

`bar(x) = bar(u) xx "h" + "A"`

= – 0.25 × 10 + 74.5

= 72

Var (u) = `sigma_u^2 = (sumf_"i"u_"i"^2)/"N" - (baru)^2`

= `155/100 - (-0.25)^2`

= 1.55 – 0.0625

= 1.4875

∴ Var (X) = h2 var (u) = (10)2 × 1.4875

= 100 × 1.4875

= 148.75

∴ S.D. = `sigma_x = sqrt("Var(X)")`

= `sqrt(148.75)`

= 12.2
