Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Calculate the midpoint for each speed interval.

    For grouped frequency data, the mean is estimated by using the midpoint of each class interval.

    • For 0<v≤200 < v \le 20, midpoint x1=0+202=10x_1 = \frac{0+20}{2} = 10
    • For 20<v≤4020 < v \le 40, midpoint x2=20+402=30x_2 = \frac{20+40}{2} = 30
    • For 40<v≤4540 < v \le 45, midpoint x3=40+452=42.5x_3 = \frac{40+45}{2} = 42.5
    • For 45<v≤5045 < v \le 50, midpoint x4=45+502=47.5x_4 = \frac{45+50}{2} = 47.5
    • For 50<v≤6050 < v \le 60, midpoint x5=50+602=55x_5 = \frac{50+60}{2} = 55
    • For 60<v≤8060 < v \le 80, midpoint x6=60+802=70x_6 = \frac{60+80}{2} = 70
  2. Calculate the product of each midpoint and its corresponding frequency (fxfx).

    • 10×16=16010 \times 16 = 160
    • 30×34=102030 \times 34 = 1020
    • 42.5×62=263542.5 \times 62 = 2635
    • 47.5×58=275547.5 \times 58 = 2755
    • 55×26=143055 \times 26 = 1430
    • 70×4=28070 \times 4 = 280
  3. Calculate the sum of the products (∑fx\sum fx) and the sum of the frequencies (∑f\sum f).

    Sum of products ∑fx=160+1020+2635+2755+1430+280=8280\sum fx = 160 + 1020 + 2635 + 2755 + 1430 + 280 = 8280
    Sum of frequencies ∑f=16+34+62+58+26+4=200\sum f = 16 + 34 + 62 + 58 + 26 + 4 = 200 (This matches the total of 200 cars given in the question).

  4. Calculate the estimate of the mean.

    The formula for the estimated mean is xˉ=∑fx∑f\bar{x} = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}.

    xˉ=8280200\bar{x} = \frac{8280}{200} xˉ=41.4\bar{x} = 41.4

    The estimate of the mean speed is 41.4 km/h41.4 \text{ km/h}.
