Number of mangoes | 50-52 | 53-55 | 56-58 | 59-61 | 62-64 |
Number of boxes | 15 | 110 | 135 | 115 | 25 |
Answer :
Since, the given data is not continuous so we add 0.5 to the upper limit and subtract 0.5 from the lower limit as the gap between two intervals are 1
Here, assumed mean (A) = 57, Class size (h)
= 3
Here, the step deviation is used because the frequency values are big.
Class Interval | Number of boxes \( (f_i) \) | Mid-point \( (x_i) \) | \( d_i \ = \ x_i \ - \ A \) | \( f_i d_i \) |
49.5-52.5 | 15 | 51 | -6 | 90 |
52.5-55.5 | 110 | 54 | -3 | -330 |
55.5-58.5 | 135 | 57 | 0 | 0 |
58.5-61.5 | 115 | 60 | 3 | 345 |
61.5-64.5 | 25 | 63 | 6 | 150 |
\( \sum f_i \ = \ 400 \) | \( \sum f_i d_i \ = \ 75 \) |
The formula to find out the Mean is:
\( \overline{x} \ = \ A \ + h \frac{ \sum \ f_i d_i}{ \sum f_i} \ = \ 57 \ + \ 3 × \frac{75}{400} \)
\(= \ 57 \ + \ 0.1875 \ = \ 57.19 \)
\(\therefore \) The mean number of mangoes kept in a packing box is 57.19
