📝 Subjective Answers

Q1. Missing Frequencies (Mean = 50)

Using formula:
Mean = Σfx / Σf

After solving:
👉 f₁ + f₂ = 52

(Exact individual values cannot be uniquely determined)


Q2. Find x and y (Median = 28.5)

Total frequency = 60

Using median formula:
👉 x = 10, y = 5


Q3. Mean, Median, Mode

👉 Mean ≈ 60
👉 Median ≈ 60
👉 Mode ≈ 60


📊 Additional Questions Answers

Q4. Median using Empirical Relation

Empirical Formula:
Mode = 3 Median − 2 Mean

12.4 = 3 Median − 2(10.5)

12.4 = 3 Median − 21

3 Median = 33.4

👉 Median = 11.13


Q5. Find p (Mode = 65)

Using Mode formula for grouped data:

👉 p = 10


Q6. Missing Frequency (Mean = 18)

Using mean formula:

👉 p = 13


Q7. Correct Mean and Median

Correction in total = +10

👉 New Mean = 50.1
👉 Median = 52 (unchanged)


Q8. Mode using Empirical Relation

Mode = 3 Median − 2 Mean

= 3(9.6) − 2(10.5)
= 28.8 − 21

👉 Mode = 7.8


📌 Case Study Answers

Given Data:

Total people = 140


i) Modal Class

Highest frequency = 40

👉 Modal Class = 55 – 65


ii) Median Age

👉 Median Class = 45 – 55
👉 Median ≈ 50


iii) Find x (Mean = 58)

Using mean formula:

👉 x = 6
