Solution

From the image provided, it appears to be a statistics problem where the mean is given as 50, and you are tasked with determining the missing frequencies f1f_1 and f2f_2. The problem also involves a frequency distribution table with the following class intervals and frequencies:

Class Interval (C.I.)Frequency (f)
10–30f1f_1
30–5090
50–7030
70–90f2f_2
90–11040
Total200

The mean formula for a grouped frequency distribution is:

Mean=fxf\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum f \cdot x}{\sum f}

Here:

  • ff represents frequency.
  • xx represents the class mark of each interval, calculated as: x=Lower Bound+Upper Bound2x = \frac{\text{Lower Bound} + \text{Upper Bound}}{2}
  • Total frequency f=200\sum f = 200, and the mean is given as 50.

Step 1: Calculate Class Marks (xx)

C.I.Class Mark (xx)
10–30x=10+302=20x = \frac{10+30}{2} = 20
30–50x=30+502=40x = \frac{30+50}{2} = 40
50–70x=50+702=60x = \frac{50+70}{2} = 60
70–90x=70+902=80x = \frac{70+90}{2} = 80
90–110x=90+1102=100x = \frac{90+110}{2} = 100

Step 2: Expand the Formula

Substitute values into the mean formula:

Mean=50=fx200\text{Mean} = 50 = \frac{\sum f \cdot x}{200}

Substituting into the formula:

50=(f120)+(9040)+(3060)+(f280)+(40100)20050 = \frac{(f_1 \cdot 20) + (90 \cdot 40) + (30 \cdot 60) + (f_2 \cdot 80) + (40 \cdot 100)}{200}

Simplify the terms:

50=20f1+3600+1800+80f2+400020050 = \frac{20f_1 + 3600 + 1800 + 80f_2 + 4000}{200}

Combine like terms:

50=20f1+80f2+940020050 = \frac{20f_1 + 80f_2 + 9400}{200}

Multiply through by 200:

10000=20f1+80f2+940010000 = 20f_1 + 80f_2 + 9400

Simplify further:

20f1+80f2=60020f_1 + 80f_2 = 600

Step 3: Use the Total Frequency Condition

The sum of frequencies is given as 200:

f1+90+30+f2+40=200f_1 + 90 + 30 + f_2 + 40 = 200

Simplify:

f1+f2+160=200f_1 + f_2 + 160 = 200

f1+f2=40f_1 + f_2 = 40

Step 4: Solve the System of Equations

We now have two equations:

  1. 20f1+80f2=60020f_1 + 80f_2 = 600
  2. f1+f2=40f_1 + f_2 = 40

From the second equation, solve for f1f_1: f1=40f2f_1 = 40 - f_2

Substitute f1=40f2f_1 = 40 - f_2 into the first equation:

20(40f2)+80f2=60020(40 - f_2) + 80f_2 = 600

Expand:

80020f2+80f2=600800 - 20f_2 + 80f_2 = 600

Simplify:

800+60f2=600800 + 60f_2 = 600

60f2=20060f_2 = -200

From the equations: 1. $$20f_1 + 80f_2 = 600$$ 2. $$f_1 + f_2 = 40$$ ### Substitute $$f_1 = 40 - f_2$$ into Equation 1: \[ 20(40 - f_2) + 80f_2 = 600$$ Expand: $$800 - 20f_2 + 80f_2 = 600$$ Simplify: $$800 + 60f_2 = 600$$ $$60f_2 = 600 - 800$$ $$60f_2 = -200$$ \[ f_2 = \frac{-200}{60} = -3.33
