Here's the solution to the statistics problem.

Part a(i)· 2 steps

Determine the value of X.

  1. Sum the given frequencies.

    The total number of students is 100. The frequencies are 4, 6, 10, 14, X, 24, 14, 6.
    Sum of known frequencies =4+6+10+14+24+14+6=78= 4 + 6 + 10 + 14 + 24 + 14 + 6 = 78.

  2. Calculate X.

    The sum of all frequencies must equal the total number of students.

    78+X=10078 + X = 100 X=100−78X = 100 - 78 X=22X = 22

    The value of X is 22\boxed{22}.

Part a(ii)55-59

The modal class.

  1. Identify the highest frequency.

    The frequencies are 4, 6, 10, 14, 22 (for X), 24, 14, 6.
    The highest frequency is 24.

  2. Determine the class corresponding to the highest frequency.

    The class interval corresponding to the frequency 24 is 55-59.
    The modal class is 55−59\boxed{55-59}.

Part b52.1

Calculate the mean.

  1. Find the midpoint (xx) for each class interval.

    • 30-34: x=30+342=32x = \frac{30+34}{2} = 32
    • 35-39: x=35+392=37x = \frac{35+39}{2} = 37
    • 40-44: x=40+442=42x = \frac{40+44}{2} = 42
    • 45-49: x=45+492=47x = \frac{45+49}{2} = 47
    • 50-54: x=50+542=52x = \frac{50+54}{2} = 52
    • 55-59: x=55+592=57x = \frac{55+59}{2} = 57
    • 60-64: x=60+642=62x = \frac{60+64}{2} = 62
    • 65-69: x=65+692=67x = \frac{65+69}{2} = 67
  2. Calculate the product of frequency (ff) and midpoint (xx) for each class (fxfx).

    • 4×32=1284 \times 32 = 128
    • 6×37=2226 \times 37 = 222
    • 10×42=42010 \times 42 = 420
    • 14×47=65814 \times 47 = 658
    • 22×52=114422 \times 52 = 1144
    • 24×57=136824 \times 57 = 1368
    • 14×62=86814 \times 62 = 868
    • 6×67=4026 \times 67 = 402
  3. Sum the fxfx values (∑fx\sum fx).

    ∑fx=128+222+420+658+1144+1368+868+402=5210\sum fx = 128 + 222 + 420 + 658 + 1144 + 1368 + 868 + 402 = 5210
  4. Calculate the mean using the formula xˉ=∑fx∑f\bar{x} = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}.

    The total frequency ∑f=100\sum f = 100.

    xˉ=5210100\bar{x} = \frac{5210}{100} xˉ=52.1\bar{x} = 52.1

    The mean is 52.1\boxed{52.1}.
