Explanation
Solution
The Arithmetic Mean (xˉ) for a frequency distribution is given by the formula:
Step 1: Identify the values and frequencies.
-
Values (xi): 0,1,2,…,n (where n=50)
-
Frequencies (fi): nC0,nC1,nC2,…,nCn
Step 2: Calculate the sum of frequencies (∑fi).
The sum of binomial coefficients is a standard identity:
r=0∑nnCr=nC0+nC1+⋯+nCn=2n
For n=50:
Step 3: Calculate the sum of products (∑fixi).
We need to find the value of:
Using the property r⋅nCr=n⋅n−1Cr−1:
S=0⋅nC0+1⋅nC1+2⋅nC2+⋯+n⋅nCn
S=n[n−1C0+n−1C1+⋯+n−1Cn−1]
For n=50:
Step 4: Calculate the Arithmetic Mean.
Final Answer:
The Arithmetic Mean (AM) is 25.
