Solution

To find the values of xx, yy, and zz for the given distribution, we can use the information provided about the median and modal values.

Given:

  • Median =133.5= 133.5
  • Mode =134= 134
  • Classes: 100βˆ’110100-110, 110βˆ’120110-120, 120βˆ’130120-130, 130βˆ’140130-140, 140βˆ’150140-150, 150βˆ’160150-160, 160βˆ’170160-170
  • Frequencies: 44, 1616, xx, yy, zz, 66, 44

Step 1: Determining the Median Class

The median class is the class interval where the median lies, which is 133.5133.5. The median class is 130βˆ’140130-140.

Step 2: Using the Median Formula

The median formula is:

Median=L+(N2βˆ’Ff)Γ—h\text{Median} = L + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - F}{f} \right) \times h

Where:

  • LL is the lower boundary of the median class.
  • NN is the total frequency.
  • FF is the cumulative frequency before the median class.
  • ff is the frequency of the median class.
  • hh is the class width.

From the problem:

  • L=130L = 130
  • Median=133.5\text{Median} = 133.5
  • h=10h = 10

To find NN, the total frequency: N=4+16+x+y+z+6+4=30+x+y+zN = 4 + 16 + x + y + z + 6 + 4 = 30 + x + y + z The cumulative frequency before the median class: F=4+16=20F = 4 + 16 = 20 Let ff be the frequency of the median class, so f=xf = x.

Now substitute into the median formula: 133.5=130+(30+x+y+z2βˆ’20x)Γ—10133.5 = 130 + \left( \frac{\frac{30 + x + y + z}{2} - 20}{x} \right) \times 10 Simplify the equation: 133.5=130+(15+x+y+z2βˆ’20x)Γ—10133.5 = 130 + \left( \frac{15 + \frac{x + y + z}{2} - 20}{x} \right) \times 10 133.5=130+(βˆ’5+x+y+z2x)Γ—10133.5 = 130 + \left( \frac{-5 + \frac{x + y + z}{2}}{x} \right) \times 10 3.5=βˆ’5+x+y+z2xΓ—103.5 = \frac{-5 + \frac{x + y + z}{2}}{x} \times 10 3.510=βˆ’5+x+y+z2x\frac{3.5}{10} = \frac{-5 + \frac{x + y + z}{2}}{x} 0.35=βˆ’5+x+y+z2x0.35 = \frac{-5 + \frac{x + y + z}{2}}{x} 0.35x=βˆ’5+x+y+z20.35x = -5 + \frac{x + y + z}{2} Multiply the entire equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction: 0.7x=βˆ’10+x+y+z0.7x = -10 + x + y + z Simplify: 0.7xβˆ’x=y+zβˆ’100.7x - x = y + z - 10 βˆ’0.3x=y+zβˆ’10(Equation 1)-0.3x = y + z - 10 \quad \text{(Equation 1)}

Step 3: Using the Mode Formula

The mode formula is:

Mode=Lm+(f1βˆ’f02f1βˆ’f0βˆ’f2)Γ—h\text{Mode} = L_m + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h

Where:

  • LmL_m is the lower boundary of the modal class.
  • f1f_1 is the frequency of the modal class.
  • f0f_0 is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class.
  • f2f_2 is the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class.

Given that the mode is 134134, the modal class is also 130βˆ’140130-140. So:

  • Lm=130L_m = 130
  • f1=xf_1 = x
  • f0=yf_0 = y
  • f2=zf_2 = z
  • h=10h = 10

Substituting into the mode formula: 134=130+(xβˆ’y2xβˆ’yβˆ’z)Γ—10134 = 130 + \left( \frac{x - y}{2x - y - z} \right) \times 10 4=(xβˆ’y2xβˆ’yβˆ’z)Γ—104 = \left( \frac{x - y}{2x - y - z} \right) \times 10 410=xβˆ’y2xβˆ’yβˆ’z\frac{4}{10} = \frac{x - y}{2x - y - z} 0.4=xβˆ’y2xβˆ’yβˆ’z0.4 = \frac{x - y}{2x - y - z} Multiply through by (2xβˆ’yβˆ’z)(2x - y - z) to get: 0.4(2xβˆ’yβˆ’z)=xβˆ’y0.4(2x - y - z) = x - y 0.8xβˆ’0.4yβˆ’0.4z=xβˆ’y0.8x - 0.4y - 0.4z = x - y Simplify to get: 0.8xβˆ’x=βˆ’0.4y+yβˆ’0.4z0.8x - x = -0.4y + y - 0.4z βˆ’0.2x=0.6yβˆ’0.4z(Equation 2)-0.2x = 0.6y - 0.4z \quad \text{(Equation 2)}

Step 4: Solve the System of Equations

We now have two equations:

  1. βˆ’0.3x=y+zβˆ’10-0.3x = y + z - 10
  2. βˆ’0.2x=0.6yβˆ’0.4z-0.2x = 0.6y - 0.4z

We can solve these simultaneously to find xx, yy, and zz.
