Question

The following frequency distribution shows the number of magazine

subscriptions per household for a sample of 60 households. Find the mean
number of subscriptions per household.
Number of magazines 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Frequency
13 9 19 8 5 2 4

Answer 1

2.0833333 or 25/12

Explanation:

multiply each number of magazines by the frequency

0*13=0

1*9=9

2*19=38

3*8=24

4*5=20

5*2=10

6*4=24

Then add them all up,

9+38+24+20+10+24=125

Since there are 60 households, divide by 60

125/60= 2.083333 or 25/12
