Ex 13.2, 3 The following data gives the distribution of total monthly household expenditure of 200 families of a village. Find the modal monthly expenditure of the families. Also, find the mean monthly expenditure. Finding Mode Mode = l + (š1 āš0)/(2š1 āš0 āš2) Ć h Modal class = Interval highest frequency = 1500 ā 2000 where l = lower limit of modal class h = class-interval f1 = frequency of the modal class f0 = frequency of class before modal class f2 = frequency of class after modal class Putting values in formula Mode = 1500 + (40 ā 24)/(2(40) ā 24 ā 33) Ć 500 = 1500 + 16/(80 ā 57) Ć 500 = 1500 + 16/23 Ć 500 = 1500 + 347.826 = 1847.83 Therefore, Modal Monthly expenditure of families is Rs. 1847.83 Mean(š„ Ģ ) = a + h Ć (āāšššš)/(āāšš) Mean(š„ Ģ ) = a + h Ć (āāššš¢š)/(āāšš) Where a = assumed mean = 3250 h = Class interval = 500 āāšš = 200 āāšššš = ā235 Putting values in Formula Mean(š„ Ģ ) = 3250 + 500 Ć (ā235)/200 Mean(š„ Ģ ) = 3250 + 5 Ć (ā235)/2 š„ Ģ = 3250 ā 587.2 š„ Ģ = 2662.5 Therefore, Mean expenditure is Rs. 2662.5
