Solution 1
To find the mean of a frequency table, we need to multiply each value by its frequency, sum these products, and then divide by the total frequency.
(a) For the Grade frequency table:
First, find the midpoint of each interval by adding the lower and upper bounds and dividing by 2. Then multiply each midpoint by its frequency:
(49.5+59.5)/2 * 2 = 109 (59.5+69.5)/2 * 3 = 193.5 (69.5+79.5)/2 * 9 = 670.5 (79.5+89.5)/2 * 14 = 1197 (89.5+99.5)/2 * 5 = 445
Sum these products: 109 + 193.5 + 670.5 + 1197 + 445 = 2615
The total frequency is 2 + 3 + 9 + 14 + 5 = 33
So, the mean is 2615 / 33 = 79.2 (rounded to one decimal place)
(b) For the Daily Low Temperature frequency table:
(49.5+59.5)/2 * 5 = 272.5 (59.5+69.5)/2 * 3 = 193.5 (69.5+79.5)/2 * 15 = 1117.5 (79.5+89.5)/2 * 1 = 84.5 (89.5+99.5)/2 * 0 = 0
Sum these products: 272.5 + 193.5 + 1117.5 + 84.5 + 0 = 1668
The total frequency is 5 + 3 + 15 + 1 + 0 = 24
So, the mean is 1668 / 24 = 69.5 (rounded to one decimal place)
(c) For the Points per Game frequency table:
(49.5+59.5)/2 * 1 = 54.5 (59.5+69.5)/2 * 3 = 193.5 (69.5+79.5)/2 * 15 = 1117.5 (79.5+89.5)/2 * 23 = 1935.5 (89.5+99.5)/2 * 2 = 189
Sum these products: 54.5 + 193.5 + 1117.5 + 1935.5 + 189 = 3490
The total frequency is 1 + 3 + 15 + 23 + 2 = 44
So, the mean is 3490 / 44 = 79.3 (rounded to one decimal place)
Solution 2
To find the mean of a frequency table, we need to multiply each value by its frequency, sum these products, and then divide by the total frequency.
(a) For the grades:
- The midpoint of each interval is calculated as (lower limit + upper limit) / 2.
- Multiply each midpoint by its frequency.
- Sum these products and divide by the total frequency.
Doing this, we get:
- (54.5 * 2) + (64.5 * 3) + (74.5 * 9) + (84.5 * 14) + (94.5 * 5) = 109 + 193.5 + 670.5 + 1183 + 472.5 = 2628.5
- Total frequency = 2 + 3 + 9 + 14 + 5 = 33
- Mean = 2628.5 / 33 = 79.7 (rounded to one decimal place)
(b) For the daily low temperature:
- (54.5 * 5) + (64.5 * 3) + (74.5 * 15) + (84.5 * 18) + (94.5 * 0) = 272.5 + 193.5 + 1117.5 + 1521 + 0 = 3104.5
- Total frequency = 5 + 3 + 15 + 18 + 0 = 41
- Mean = 3104.5 / 41 = 75.7 (rounded to one decimal place)
(c) For the points per game:
- (54.5 * 14) + (64.5 * 3) + (74.5 * 15) + (84.5 * 23) + (94.5 * 2) = 763 + 193.5 + 1117.5 + 1943.5 + 189 = 4206.5
- Total frequency = 14 + 3 + 15 + 23 + 2 = 57
- Mean = 4206.5 / 57 = 73.8 (rounded to one decimal place)
