If the mean of a frequency distribution is 8.1 and Σfixi = 132 + 5k, Σfi = 20, then k =
If x1, x2, … , xn are observations with frequencies f1, f2, … , fn i.e. x1 occurs f1 times and x2 occurs f2 times and so on, then we have
mean() of observations is given by
Given, mean = 8.1
Putting this values in formula:
⇒ 162 = 132 + 5k
⇒ 5k = 30
⇒ k = 6
