Deviation, Standard Deviation, Quartile Deviation,
Co efficient of variation

Continuous Series Problems ---- 01
6. Missing frequencies under continuous series
Ex ; 1. Find missing frequency when Mean = 18
Find missing frequency from the following data
mean = 18.1
Class Frequency
5 - 10 11
10 - 15 20
15 - 20 35
20 - 25 20
25 - 30 f
30 - 35 6
8. CONTD
X = A+ βfd/N X C , X = 18.1, N = 92+f, βfd = -188, A = 27.5
18.1 = 27.5 - 188/92+f x 5
18.1 β 27.5 = - 188/92+f x 5
- 9.4 = - 188/92+f x 5
- 9.4 (92+f) = - 188 x 5
- 864.8 β 9.4f = - 940
- 9.4f = - 940 + 864.8
- 9.4f = - 75.2
f = - 75.2/-9.4
f = 8

N=17+f1+f2 βfx =107+5f1+9f2
10. CONTD
We know that,
17+f1+f2 = N, βfx =107+5f1+9f2, X = 6.56
17+f1+f2 =32, N =32
F1+f2 =32 β 17
F1+f2 =15,
F1 = 15 β f2 equation 1
X =βfx/N
6.56 = 107+5f1+9f2/32
Substitute the value of f1 in above calculation
6.56x32 = 107+5(15 β f2)+9f2
11. contd
6.56x32 = 107+5(15 β f2)+9f2
209.92 = 107+75 β 5f2+9f2
209.92 = 182 +4f2
209.92 β 182 = 4f2
27.92 = 4f2
f2 = 27.92/4
f2=6.98 = 7
Keep the value of f2 in equation 1, to get f1 value
f1 = 15 β f2 equation 1
f1= 15 β 7 = 8
12. Missing frequencies under median
Ex;3, find missing frequencies, when N =100, Me =50
Solution: calculation missing frequencies
C.I 0 -20 20-40 40-60 60-80 80-100
F 14 F 27 F2 15
Class interval Frequency c.f.

20 β 40 F1 14+f1
40 β 60 27 41+f1
60 β 80 F2 41+f1+f2
80 β 100 15 56+f1+f2
56+f1+f2
13. Contd
Median class is 40 β 60 (therefore, median is 50, it lies
in the class interval 40 β 60)
Me = L + N/2 β cf/f x C
L = 40, N=100,cf=14+f1,f=27,c=20, Me = 50
50 = 40 + 50 β (14+f1)/27 x 20
50 β 40 = 50 β 14 β f1/27 x20
10 x 27 = (36 β f1)20
270 = 720 β 20f1
20f1 = 720 β 270
20f1 = 450
f1=450/20 = 22.5 or 23
14. Contd
f1=23
When N=100 then,
56+f1+f2 = 100
f1+f2=100 β 56
f1+f2=44β¦β¦1
Keep the value of f1 in equation 1
f1+f2=44 β¦β¦ Equation 1
23+f2 =44
f2=44 β 23
f2=21
