Daily Expenditure | No of households (fi) | Class Mark (xi) | xi - 225 | fiui | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
100-150 | 4 | 125-220=-100 | |||
150-200 | 5 | 175-225=-50 | |||
200-250 | 12 | 225-225=0 | |||
250-300 | 2 | 275-225=50 | |||
300-350 | 2 | 325-225=100 | |||
As we can see the highest frequency (fi) = 12
The class for (fi = 12) 200-250
Now,
Here a = assumed mean =
h = class interval = 150-100 = 50
