Question

table shows the travelling time to work of 50 people.
Travelling time (t) in minutes
Frequency
0 < t < 10
5
10 < t < 20
15
20 < t < 30
13
30 < t < 40
10
40 < t < 50
Calculate an estimate of the mean travelling time.

Answer 1

An estimate of the mean travelling time will be 24.8 mins.

What are mean?

The mean is the average value which can be calculated by dividing the sum of observations by the number of observations

Mean = Sum of observations/the number of observations

Given;

Time > timemark > frequency

0 – 10 > 10/2 = 5 > 5

10 – 20 > (10+20)/2 = 15 > 15

20 – 30 > (20+30)/2 = 25 > 13

30 – 40 > (30+40)/2 = 35 > 10

40 – 50 > (40+50)/2 = 45 > 7

The mean time for the 50 people can be calculated as;

Mean = Summation of (mid-time x frequency) / total frequency

Mean = [5x5 + 15x15 + 25x13 + 35x10 + 45x7] / 50

Mean = [25 + 225 + 325 + 350 + 315] / 50

Mean = 1240 / 50

Mean = 24.8 mins
