Frequency Distribution Table

Marksf02082040144060186080168010012Total68\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline Marks & f \\ \hline 0-20 & 8 \\ 20-40 & 14 \\ 40-60 & 18 \\ 60-80 & 16 \\ 80-100 & 12 \\ \hline Total & 68 \\ \hline \end{array}

Step 1: Class size

Class size == upper limit - lower limit of any class.

Class size =200=20= 20 - 0 = 20.

Class size =20= 20

Step 2: Median class

Total frequency N=68N = 68.

Median position =N+12=692=34.5= \frac{N+1}{2} = \frac{69}{2} = 34.5.

Cumulative frequencies:

ClassC.F.02082040224060406080568010068\begin{array}{c|c} Class & C.F. \\ \hline 0-20 & 8 \\ 20-40 & 22 \\ 40-60 & 40 \\ 60-80 & 56 \\ 80-100 & 68 \\ \hline \end{array}

C.F. first exceeds 34.534.5 at class 406040-60.

Median class =4060= 40-60

Step 3: Modal class

Modal class is the class with highest frequency.

Highest f=18f=18 for class 406040-60.

Modal class =4060= 40-60

Step 4: Mean

Midpoints xix_i: 10,30,50,70,9010, 30, 50, 70, 90.

fxi=80+420+900+1120+1080=3600\sum f x_i = 80 + 420 + 900 + 1120 + 1080 = 3600.

Mean xˉ=fxiN=360068\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f x_i}{N} = \frac{3600}{68}.

3600÷68=3600÷468÷4=900173600 \div 68 = \frac{3600 \div 4}{68 \div 4} = \frac{900}{17}.

90017=521617\frac{900}{17} = 52 \frac{16}{17}.

Mean =90017= \dfrac{900}{17}
\dfrac{900{17}}
