$250$ apples of a box were weighed and the distribution of masses of the apples is given in the following table :
Mass (in grams)
quad $80-100$
quad $100-120$
quad $120-140$
quad $140-160$
quad $160-180$
Number of apples
quad $20$
quad $60$
quad $70$
quad $x$
quad $60$
(i) Find the value of $x$ and the mean mass of the apples.
(ii) Find the modal mass of the apples

Show SolutionHide Solution
(i)$20 + 60 + 70 + x + 60 = 250$
$x = 250-210 = 40$
Mean mass $= \frac{33700}{250} = 134.8$
Mean mass $= 134.8$ g
(ii) Modal class $= 120-140$
Mode $= 120+\frac{(70-60)}{(140-60-40)} \times 20$
$= 125$
Hence modal mass $= 125$ g
