Question

The table below shows the number of cups of coffee people drink a day

Answer 1

Answer:

Midpoint Midpoint x Frequency = 140

coffee = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The mean of a distribution is the sum of the data elements divided by the count of the dataset.

The mean of the distribution is 4

The complete table is given as

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}People & Frequency &0 - 2 & 5 & 3 - 5 & 25 & 6 - 8 & 5\end{array}\right]$

The complete question requires that, we calculate the mean of the dataset

First, we calculate the class midpoint

This is the average of the class interval

For interval 0 - 2,

$x_1 = \frac{0 + 2}{2} = 1$

For interval 3 - 5,

$x_2 = \frac{3 + 5}{2} = 4$

For interval 6 - 8

$x_3 = \frac{6 + 8}{2} = 7$

So, the table becomes

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}People & x & Frequency &0 - 2 &1 & 5 & 3 - 5 & 4& 25 & 6 - 8& 7 & 5\end{array}\right]$

The mean is then calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f }$

This gives

$\bar x = \frac{5 \times 1 + 25 \times 4 + 5 \times 7}{5 + 25 + 5}$

$\bar x = \frac{140}{35}$

$\bar x = 4$

Hence, the mean of the distribution is 4
