Finding the Mean from Graphical Representation
Here we will learn how to find the mean from graphical representation.
The ogive of the distribution of marks of 45 students is given below.
Find the mean of the distribution.
Solution:
The cumulative-frequency table is as given below.
Marks
Under 20
Under 40
Under 60
Under 80
Under 100
Number of Students
10
30
35

45
Writing in overlapping class intervals, the distribution is as below.
Marks
0 - 20
20 - 40
40 - 60
60 - 80
Under 100
Number of Students
10

\(\sum f_{i}\) = 45 |
\(\sum m_{i}f_{i}\) = 1750 |
Therefore, mean A = \(\frac{\sum m_{i}f_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}\)
= \(\frac{1750}{45}\)
= 38.89
