Answer:
The number of sweets in the 10th bag is 53
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let the Number of sweets in a bag be represented by x and frequency be represented by f
The table is as follows
x F
39 1
40 2
41 5
42 0
43 1
Mean = 42
Required
How many sweets are in the 10th bag?
Represent the number of sweets in the 10th bag by y;
The table becomes
x F
39 1
40 2
41 5
42 0
43 1
y 1
The mean of observation is calculated using the following formula;
Mean = ∑fx/∑f
Where ∑ means summation
fx means f * x; i.e. product of frequency and number of sweets
f represents frequency;
Calculating ∑fx
∑fx = 39 * 1 + 40 * 2 + 41 * 5 + 42 * 0 + 43 * 1 + y * 1
∑fx = 39 + 80+ 205 + 0 + 43 + y
∑fx = 367 + y
Calcuating ∑f
∑f = 1 + 2 + 5 + 0 + 1 + 1
∑f = 10
Recall that
Mean = ∑fx/∑f and Mean = 42;
So, Mean = ∑fx/∑f becomes
[tex]42 = \frac{367 + y}{10}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 10
[tex]42 * 10 = \frac{367 + y}{10} * 10[/tex]
[tex]420 = 367 + y[/tex]
Subtract 367 from both sides
[tex]420 - 367= 367 -367 + y[/tex]
[tex]53 = y[/tex]
[tex]y = 53[/tex]
Hence, the number of sweets in the 10th bag is 53
The total number of sweets in the 10th bag is 53 and this can be determined by using the formula of the mean.
Given :
- The total number of bags is 10.
- The mean number of sweets in the bags is 42.
- The table shows how many sweets there are in 9 of the bags.
The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of sweets in the 10th bag:
Step 1 - The formula of the mean can be used in order to determine the total number of sweets in the 10th bag.
Step 2 - The formula of mean is given below:
[tex]{\rm Mean}= \dfrac{\sum f \times x}{\sum f}[/tex]
Step 3 - Now, substitute the values of the known terms from the given table in the above expression.
[tex]{\rm Mean}= \dfrac{39 \times 1+40 \times 2+41 \times 5+42 \times 0+43 \times 1+y \times 1}{1+2+5+0+1+1}[/tex]
Step 4 - Simplify the above expression.
[tex]\begin{aligned}\\42&= \dfrac{367+y }{10}\\y &=53 \\\end{aligned}[/tex]
So, the total number of sweets in the 10th bag is 53.
