Step 1: Mid-values 3500, 4500, 5500, 6500, 7500, 8500, 9500 with $N=\sum f_i=24+13+15+28+12+8+10=110$ .

Step 2: $\sum f_ix_i = 84000+58500+82500+182000+90000+68000+95000=660000$ , so $\bar{x}=660000/110=6000$ .

Step 3: $\sum f_ix_i^2 = 294000000+263250000+453750000+1183000000+675000000+578000000+902500000=4349500000$ . …

$Q. From the following the one which is not the value of a relative measure of dispersion, is :$
(a) ₹ $10$
(b) $0.22$
(c) $0.33$
(d) $0.44$
›Reveal solutionSolution

A relative measure is dimensionless; ₹10 has units ⇒ not relative.

Relative measures of dispersion (coefficient of range, coefficient of quartile deviation, coefficient of mean deviation, coefficient of variation) are formed by dividing one quantity in the same units by another, so the units cancel and the result is a pure number such as $0.22$ , $0.33$ or $0.44$ .
