Q. The mean of the given data is $30$.
Class $0-10$ $10-20$ $20-30$ $30-40$ $40-50$
Frequency $8$ $10$ $f_1$ $15$ $f_2$

If total data is $70$, then missing numbers are

Statistics

Solution:

We have,
Class $x$ $f$ $fx$
$0-10$ $5$ $8$ $40$
$10-20$ $15$ $10$ $150$
$20-30$ $25$ $f_1$ $25\,f_1$
$30-40$ $35$ $15$ $525$
$40-50$ $45$ $f_2$ $45\,f_2$

Also, $\Sigma f = 70$, $\Sigma f x = 25f_{1}+45f_{2}+715$
$\Rightarrow 8 + 10 + f_{1}+ 15 + f_{2} = 70$
$\Rightarrow f_{1}+f_{2} = 37\quad\ldots\left(i\right)$
and $\bar{x} = \frac{\Sigma fx}{\Sigma f}$
$\Rightarrow 5f_{1}+9f_{2} = 277\quad\ldots\left(ii\right)$
Solving $\left(i\right)$ and $\left(ii\right)$, we get $f_{1} = 14$ and $f_{2} = 23$
