1. For a certain frequency table which has only been partly reproduced here, the mean was
found to be 146.

Class 0 1 2 3 4 5 Total
Frequency 46 f1 f2 25 10 5 200

Find the missing frequencies.


Ans. f1 = 76, f2 = 38.

2. The mean salary paid to 1, 000 employees of an establishment was found to be Rs. 18040.
Later on, after disbursement of salary, it was discovered that the salary of two employees
was wrongly entered as Rs. 297 and 165. Their correct salaries were Rs. 197 and Rs. 185.
Find the correct Arithmetic Mean.
Ans. corrected mean = 180.32.
