Calculation of Mean:
$\sum f_i = 64$
$\sum f_i x_i = 1152$
Mean $= \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} = \frac{1152}{64} = 18$.
Calculation of Median:
$N = 64 \Rightarrow \frac{N}{2} = 32$.
The median class is $17-19$ (since cumulative frequency $22 < 32 < 35$).
Lower limit of median class $l = 17$.
Cumulative frequency of class preceding median class $cf = 22$.
Frequency of median class $f = 13$.
Class size $h = 2$.
Median $= l + (\frac{\frac{N}{2} - cf}{f}) \times h$
Median $= 17 + (\frac{32 - 22}{13}) \times 2$
Median $= 17 + (\frac{10}{13}) \times 2 = 17 + \frac{20}{13}$
Median $= 17 + 1.538 \approx 18.54$.

Case Study – 1
Student-teacher ratio expresses the relationship between the number of students enrolled in a school and the number of teachers employed by the school. This ratio is important for a number of reasons. It can be used as a tool to measure teachers' workload as well as the allocation of resources. A survey was conducted in $100$ secondary schools of a state and the following frequency distribution table was prepared :
Number of students per Teacher: $20-25$, $25-30$, $30-35$, $35-40$, $40-45$, $45-50$
Number of Schools: $5$, $15$, $25$, $30$, $15$, $10$

Number of times (f) | 8 | 9 | 10 | 12 | 9
cf | 8 | 17 | 27 | 39 | 48=N
(i) $\frac{N}{2} = 24$
$\therefore$ median class is $30 - 45$
(ii) P (picking up an even number) = $\frac{37}{75}$
(iii) (a) Median = $30 + \frac{\left(\frac{48}{2} - 17\right)}{10} \times 15$
$= 40.5$
OR
(iii) (b) Modal class is $45 - 60$
Mode = $45 + \frac{12-10}{2\times 12-10-9} \times 15$
$= 51$

The denominator of a fraction is $2$ more than the numerator. If $2$ is added to both its numerator and denominator, then the sum of the new fraction and the original fraction is $\frac{46}{35}$. Find the original fraction.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Let the fraction be $\frac{x}{x+2}$
Therefore, $\frac{x}{x+2} + \frac{x+2}{x+4} = \frac{46}{35}$
$\Rightarrow 24x^2 + 4x - 228 = 0$ or $6x^2 + x - 57 = 0$
$\Rightarrow (6x + 19)(x - 3) = 0$
$x \neq -\frac{19}{6}$
$\therefore x = 3$
So, the required fraction is $\frac{3}{5}$
