Calculate the arithmetic mean from the following data:

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Income (₹): & below 30 & 40 & 30 & 60 & 70 & 80 & 90 \\
\hline
No. of persons: & 16 & 36 & 61 & 76 & 87 & 95 & 100 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}



Answer :

To calculate the arithmetic mean from the given data, follow these steps:

1. List the Income Brackets and the Corresponding Number of Persons:

| Income (₹): | below 30 | 40 | 30 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 |
|--------------------|----------|----|----|----|----|----|----|
| Number of persons: | 16 | 36 | 61 | 76 | 87 | 95 | 100|

For simplicity and consistency, we'll assume 'below 30' collectively as 30:

| Income (₹): | 30 | 40 | 30 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 |
|--------------------|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|
| Number of persons: | 16 | 36 | 61 | 76 | 87 | 95 | 100|

2. Calculate the Total Number of Persons:

The total number of persons is the sum of the number of persons across all income brackets:

[tex]\[ \text{Total Number of Persons} = 16 + 36 + 61 + 76 + 87 + 95 + 100 = 471 \][/tex]

3. Calculate the Total Income:

The total income is found by multiplying each income bracket by the number of persons in that bracket and then summing these products:

[tex]\[ \begin{align*} \text{Total Income} =& (30 \times 16) + (40 \times 36) + (30 \times 61) + (60 \times 76) + (70 \times 87)\\ &+ (80 \times 95) + (90 \times 100) \\ =& 480 + 1440 + 1830 + 4560 + 6090 + 7600 + 9000 \\ =& 31000 \end{align*} \][/tex]

4. Calculate the Arithmetic Mean:

The arithmetic mean is calculated by dividing the total income by the total number of persons:

[tex]\[ \text{Arithmetic Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Income}}{\text{Total Number of Persons}} = \frac{31000}{471} \approx 65.817 \][/tex]

Thus, the arithmetic mean of the income is approximately ₹65.82.
