Mean, Median, and Probability Calculations

The document provides data on the number of families and their expenditures in different ranges. It then asks to find the mean and median of this expenditure data. The solution first calculates the mean as 54.9 by taking the weighted average of the mid-points of each expenditure range multiplied by the number of families in that range. It then finds the median by first listing the cumulative frequency and class boundary, and then using the formula to calculate the median as 60.87.

Q1: Find mean and median

Expenditure 21-30 31-40 41-50 51-60 61-70 71-80 81-90


No. of Families 2 14 20 27 28 7 2

Solution:-

First we will find mean:

So

EXPENDITURE NO. OF FAMILIES (F) MID-POINT F(X)


(X)
21-30 2 25.5 51
31-40 14 35.5 497
41-50 20 45.5 910
51-60 27 55.5 1498.5
61-70 28 65.5 1834
71-80 7 75.5 528.5
81-90 1 85.5 171
∑f=100 ∑fx=5490

∑ Fx 5490
Mean= Fx
=
100

Mean= 54.9

Now we will find median

Median:

Expenditure No. of Families Class Boundary Comulative


Frequency
21-30 2 20.5-30.5 2
31-40 14 30.5-40.5 16
41-50 20 40.5-50.5 36
51-60 27 50.5-60.5 63
61-70 28 60.5-70.5 91
71-80 7 70.5-80.5 98
81-90 2 80.5-90.5 100
100

Median= 50.5+ 27 ( 2
−36 ) = 2

Median= 50.5+10.37 =50


Median=60.87

Q2: A class contains 10 men & 20 women of which half of the


men and half of the women have brown eyes. Find the prob.
that a person chosen at random is a man or has brown eyes.
Solution:-
M: Men, W: Women
n(M)=10
n(W)=20
n(S)=30
P(A)=half of men + half of women
5 10
P(A)= 30 + 30
15
P(A)= 30

Now
P( A or B)= P(A) + P(B) – P(A¿ B ¿
P(A U M)= P(M) + P(B)- P(A∩ B ¿

And, P(A∩ B ¿= P(W ) × P( A)


10 15
= 30 × 30
1
P(A∩ B ¿= 6

Now;
10 10 1
P(A U M)= 20 + 20 − 6
1
=1- 6

P(A U M) = 6 Ans
Q3: The probability that the head of a household is home
when a telemarketing representative calls is 0.4. Given that
the head of the house is home, the probability that goods will
be bought from the company is 0.3. Find the probability that
the head of the house is home and goods are bought from
the company.
Solution:-

H: Head of House
G: Good Baught
Given that
P(H)=0.4
P(G|H)=0.3
Find P(G∩ H ¿=?
SO According to formula
P (G ∩ H )
P(G|H)= P (H )

P( G ∩ H )= P(G|H)P(H)
P( G ∩ H )=(0.4)(0.3)
P( G ∩ H )=0.12 Ans
