1) Ans . 28
Reason: N is the number of observations which is
total of frequency which is 28 in our case.
2) Ans.0.25
Reason: Relative Frequency
Relative Frequency is number of times a particular value of x
occurs divided by total number of observations.
For x =7 ;
X = 7 occurs for 7 times out of 28
Thus Relative Frequency = 7/28 = 0.25
3) Ans. 8.464
Reason : Mean =
Thus , Mean =
=
=
Mean = 8.464
4) Ans.8.5
Reason : Median is the middle most term of the
data .
For Median in such data , find Cumulative frequency ( total of
frequency so far)
X Frequency Cumulative Frequency
10 8 8
9 6 14
8 6 20
7 7 27
6 1 28
If n is even ( like 28 in our case) :
Median = mean of n/2th observation and (n+2)/2 th
observation
Median = Mean of (28/2)th and ( 28+2)/2 th
observation
= Mean of 14th and 15th observation
14th Observation = 9
15Th observation = 8
Median = ( 9+8) / 2
Median = 8.5
