Correct Answer - Option 1 : 120

Given:

Mean of the given data is 9.5 and data along with the frequency is given

Formula Used:

Direct formula for mean \(= {\rm{\;}}\sum {{\rm{f}}_{\rm{i}}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{i}}}/\sum {{\rm{f}}_{\rm{i}}}\)

Where x is observation and f is frequency of observation

Calculation:

Here we need to calculate the value of \({f_i}{x_i}\) and \({f_i}\) and let the missing frequency be K

\({{\bf{x}}_{\bf{i}}}\)

\({{\bf{f}}_{\bf{i}}}\)

\({{\bf{f}}_{\bf{i}}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{i}}}\)

\(\sum {{\bf{f}}_{\bf{i}}} = 48 + {\bf{K}}\)

\(\sum {{\bf{f}}_{\bf{i}}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{i}}} = 396 + 10{\bf{K}}\)

 

Now, Put these value in the given formula

∴ 9.5 = (396 + 10K)/48 + K

⇒ 456 + 9.5K = 396 + 10K

⇒ 0.5K = 60

⇒ K = 120

Hence, option (1) is correct
