Mean = sum(FX)/sum(F) = 50. Sum(F) = 17 + 5a + 3 + 32 + 7a - 11 + 19 = 12a + 60. Sum(FX) = 170 + 30(5a+3) + 1600 + 70(7a-11) + 1710 = 170 + 150a + 90 + 1600 + 490a - 770 + 1710 = 640a + 2800. (640a + 2800)/(12a + 60) = 50 => 640a + 2800 = 600a + 3000 => 40a = 200 => a = 5. Frequencies: 30 is 5(5)+3 = 28, 70 is 7(5)-11 = 24.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Calculating the mean: Midpoints are 17.5, 22.5, 27.5, 32.5, 37.5, 52.5. Frequencies are 3, 8, 9, 10, 3, 2. Sum of f*x = 52.5 + 180 + 247.5 + 325 + 112.5 + 105 = 1022.5. Total frequency = 35. Mean = 1022.5 / 35 = 29.21. Mode is in the 30-35 class: 30 + ((10-9)/(2*(10)-9-3)) * 5 = 30 + (1/8)*5 = 30.625.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Calculate midpoints (x) and multiply by frequency (f). Sum(f*x) / Sum(f). Midpoints: 3, 8, 12, 17, 24, 33, 39. f*x: 33, 80, 84, 68, 96, 99, 39. Sum(f*x) = 499. Sum(f) = 40. Mean = 499/40 = 12.475.

D Correct answer
Explanation

The mean is calculated as (sum of (variable * frequency)) / (sum of frequencies). Sum of frequencies = x + 20 + 40 + 40 + 20 + 4 = x + 124. Sum of (variable * frequency) = (0*x) + (1*20) + (2*40) + (3*40) + (4*20) + (5*4) = 0 + 20 + 80 + 120 + 80 + 20 = 320. So, 320 / (x + 124) = 2.5. Solving for x: 320 = 2.5x + 310, so 2.5x = 10, x = 4.
