Find the mean and variance for the data
xi  6  10  14  18  24  28  30 
fi   2    4    7   12   8    4    3
Solution:
Let us draw the table based on the given information
| xi | fi | fixi | xi - x | (xi - x)2 | fi (xi - x)2 | 
| 6 | 2 | 12 | - 13 | 169 | 338 | 
| 10 | 4 | 40 | - 9 | 81 | 324 | 
| 14 | 7 | 98 | -5 | 25 | 175 | 
| 18 | 12 | 216 | - 1 | 1 | 12 | 
| 24 | 8 | 192 | 5 | 25 | 200 | 
| 28 | 4 | 112 | 9 | 81 | 324 | 
| 30 | 3 | 90 | 11 | 121 | 363 | 
| 40 | 760 | 
 | 1736 | 
Here, N = 40 and ∑7i = 1 fixi = 760
Therefore,Mean can be calculated as:
x = 1/N ∑5i = 1 fixi
= 760 / 40
= 19
(σ2) = 1/n ∑10i = 1(xi - x)2
= 1/40 x 1736
= 43.4
