Answer:
1). Mean = 2.275
2). Median = 2 vehicles
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given table,
Number of vehicles (x) Frequency (f) (f)×(x) Cumulative freq.
0 11 0 11
1 52 52 63
2 66 132 129
3 35 105 164
4 19 76 183
5 12 60 195
6 5 30 200
[tex]\sum (f\times x) = 455[/tex]
Number of households = 200
Mean = [tex]\sum \frac{f.x}{n}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{455}{200}[/tex]
= 2.275
Median = value of [tex]\frac{(n+1)}{2}th[/tex] observation
= value of [tex]\frac{201}{2}th[/tex] observation
= Value of 100.5th observation
= Since 100.5th observation lies in the row of cumulative freq. = 129
= 2
Therefore, median number of registered vehicles per California household
= 2 vehicles
