Let the excluded no. be x and sum of other numbers be S




⇒ S + x = 90……… (1)


Also,



⇒ S = 64


Substituting value of S in (1), we get -


64 + x = 90


⇒ x = 26


∴ excluded number = 26

Answer:

We know that,


Where, = Mean, xi = observations and n = no. of observations.


Let the salary of the retired employee be x and sum of other employees’ salary be S.




⇒ S + x = 15000……… (1)


Also,



⇒ S = 12800


Substituting value of S in (1), we get -


12800 + x = 15000


⇒ x = 2200


∴ salary of retired employee = 26

⇒ P = 3



Question 8.

If the arithmetic mean of the following distribution is 1.46. Find the missing frequencies.



Answer:

We know that,


Where, = Mean, xi = values of x and fi = frequency for that x.


Let first missing frequency be ‘y’ and second one be ‘z’.




⇒ 292 - 140 = y + 2z


⇒ y + 2z = 152……… (1)


Also, 46 + y + z + 25 + 10 + 5 = 200


⇒ y + z = 200 - 86


⇒ y + z = 114


⇒ y = 114 - z


Substituting this in (1), we get -


⇒ 114 - z + 2z = 152


⇒ z = 38


∴, y = 114 - 38


⇒ 76


⇒ The missing frequencies are - 76 and 38.
