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.

Finding the Mean from Graphical Representation

Find the mean of the distribution.

Solution:

The cumulative-frequency table is as given below.

Under 40

Under 60

Under 80

Under 100

Writing in overlapping class intervals, the distribution is as below.

\(\sum f_{i}\) = 45 

\(\sum m_{i}f_{i}\) = 1750

Therefore, mean A = \(\frac{\sum m_{i}f_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}\)

                           = \(\frac{1750}{45}\)

                           = 38.89
