Q1: A survey was conducted by a group of students as a part of their environment awareness programme, in which they collected the following data regarding the number of plants in 20 houses in a locality. Find the mean number of plants per house.


Answer:

We use the following relation to find the class mark (xi) for each interval:

Class mark (xi) =

Calculating xi and fixi as follows:

Number of plantsNumber of houses(fi)xifixi
0 -2 1 1 1 ☓ 1 = 1
2 -4 2 3 2 ☓ 3 = 6
4 -6 1 5 1 ☓ 5 = 5
6 -8 5 7 5 ☓ 7 = 35
8 - 10 6 9 6 ☓ 9 = 54
10 -12 2 11 2 ☓ 11 = 22
12 - 14 3 13 3 ☓ 13 = 39
Total 20 162

From the table, it is observed that

Σ fi = 20

Σ fixi = 162

Mean , x =

= = 8.1

Therefore, mean number of plants per house is 8.1.

Here, direct method has been used as the values of class marks (xi) and fi are small.
