Consider the following frequency distribution:
| Value | 4 | 5 | 8 | 9 | 6 | 12 | 11 |
| Frequency | 5 | $$f_1$$ | $$f_2$$ | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
Suppose that the sum of the frequencies is 19 and the median of this frequency distribution is 6.
For the given frequency distribution, let $$\alpha$$ denote the mean deviation about the mean, $$\beta$$ denote the mean deviation about the median, and $$\sigma^2$$ denote the variance.
Match each entry in List-I to the correct entry in List-II and choose the correct option.
List-I List-II
(P) $$7f_1 + 9f_2$$ is equal to (1) 146
(Q) $$19\alpha$$ is equal to (2) 47
(R) $$19\beta$$ is equal to (3) 48
(S) $$19\sigma^2$$ is equal to (4) 145
(5) 55
The given information can be arranged in a two-row table.
Values (x): 4 5 8 9 6 12 11
Frequencies (f): 5 $$f_1$$ $$f_2$$ 2 1 1 3
Adding all the frequencies must give 19:
$$5 + f_1 + f_2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 19 \;\Longrightarrow\; f_1 + f_2 = 7 \qquad -(1)$$
The median is stated to be 6. Since the total number of observations is 19 (an odd number), the median is the 10-th item in the ordered data.
Arranging the values in ascending order:
4 (5), 5 ($$f_1$$), 6 (1), 8 ($$f_2$$), 9 (2), 11 (3), 12 (1)
Cumulative frequency just before 6 is $$5 + f_1$$ and including the single 6 it becomes $$6 + f_1$$. To make the 10-th observation land on the value 6 we require
$$5 + f_1 \lt 10 \le 6 + f_1 \;\Longrightarrow\; f_1 = 4$$
Using $$f_1 + f_2 = 7$$ from $$(1)$$ gives $$f_2 = 3$$.
The completed frequency table is
4(5), 5(4), 6(1), 8(3), 9(2), 11(3), 12(1) with $$\sum f = 19$$.
1. Mean $$\mu$$
$$\sum fx = 4\cdot5 + 5\cdot4 + 6\cdot1 + 8\cdot3 + 9\cdot2 + 11\cdot3 + 12\cdot1 = 133$$
$$\mu = \frac{133}{19} = 7$$
2. Mean deviation about the mean $$\alpha$$
$$\sum f|x-\mu| = 15 + 8 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 12 + 5 = 48$$
$$\alpha = \frac{48}{19}\;\Longrightarrow\; 19\alpha = 48$$
3. Mean deviation about the median $$\beta$$ (median = 6)
$$\sum f|x-6| = 10 + 4 + 0 + 6 + 6 + 15 + 6 = 47$$
$$\beta = \frac{47}{19}\;\Longrightarrow\; 19\beta = 47$$
4. Variance $$\sigma^{2}$$
$$\sum f(x-\mu)^2 = 45 + 16 + 1 + 3 + 8 + 48 + 25 = 146$$
$$\sigma^{2} = \frac{146}{19}\;\Longrightarrow\; 19\sigma^{2} = 146$$
5. Expression $$7f_1 + 9f_2$$
$$7f_1 + 9f_2 = 7\cdot4 + 9\cdot3 = 28 + 27 = 55$$
Matching with List-II
(P) $$7f_1 + 9f_2 = 55$$ → (5)
(Q) $$19\alpha = 48$$ → (3)
(R) $$19\beta = 47$$ → (2)
(S) $$19\sigma^{2} = 146$$ → (1)
Thus the correct matching is
(P)→(5), (Q)→(3), (R)→(2), (S)→(1)
Option C which is: (P)→(5), (Q)→(3), (R)→(2), (S)→(1)
