Question 13 Mean Median And Mode Of Ungrouped Data Exercise 18B

Find the value of p, when the mean of the following distribution is 20.

x f
15 2
17 3
19 4
20 + p 5p
23 6

Answer:

x f xifi
15 2 30
17 3 51
19 4 76
20+p 5p 100p + 5p2
23 6 138

It is given that

Mean = 20

We know that

Mean = Σ fi xi/ Σ fi

So we get

(5p2 + 100p + 295)/ (15 + 5p) = 20

On further calculation

5p2 + 100p + 295 = 300 + 100p

So we get

5p2 = 5

By division

p2 = 1

By taking square root

p = 1

Therefore, the value of p is 1.

  1. The mean of the following distribution is 50.
