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 $= 17 + 1.538 \approx 18.54$.

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 $\frac{3}{5}$
