| x | f | fx |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 46 | 0 |
| 50 | f1 | 50f1 |
| 100 | f2 | 100f2 |
| 150 | 25 | 3750 |
| 200 | 10 | 2000 |
| 250 | 5 | 1250 |
| Total | 86 + f1 + f2 | 7000 + 50f1 + 100f2 |
Given,
⇒ Σf = 200
⇒ 86 + f1 + f2 = 200
⇒ f1 + f2 = 200 - 86
⇒ f1 + f2 = 114
⇒ f1 = 114 - f2 ……..(1)
Given, mean = 73
Substituting value of f2 in (1), we get :
⇒ f1 = 114 - f2 = 114 - 38 = 76.
Hence, f1 = 76 and f2 = 38.
