Question

If the mean of the frequency distribution

Class :	0–10	10–20	20–30	30–40	40–50
Frequency :	2	3	$x$	5	4

$Mean, \bar{x} = \frac{410 + 25 x}{14 + x}$ $\Rightarrow 28 = \frac{410 + 25 x}{14 + x}$

$\Rightarrow 392 + 28 x = 410 + 25 x \Rightarrow 3 x = 18$

$\Rightarrow x = 6$

$∴$ $n = 20$

$Variance (σ^{2}) = \frac{\sum f_{i} x_{i}^{2}}{n} - {(28)}^{2}$

$= \frac{2 \times 5^{2} + 3 \times 15^{2} + 6 \times 25^{2} + 5 \times 35^{2} + 4 \times 45^{2}}{20} - {(28)}^{2}$

$= \frac{(2 \times 25) + (3 \times 225) + (6 \times 625) + (5 \times 1225) + (4 \times 2025)}{20} - 784$

$= 935 - 784 = 151$
