12. The given data is made'continuous by subtracting 0.5 from the lower limit and adding 0.5 to the upper limit of each class. So, we cam tabulate as.

N = βˆ‘ f = 2 7

( N 2 ) = 2 7 2 = 1 3 . 5

So, we have median lies in the class 12 – 16

I1 = 12, f = 8, h = 4, c.f. = 13

So, here we apply formula

M = I 1 + N 2 βˆ’ c . f . f Γ— h = 1 2 + 1 3 . 5 βˆ’ 1 3 8 Γ— 4

= 1 2 + 5 2

M = 2 4 . 5 2 = 1 2 . 2 5

20 M = 20 Γ— 12.25

= 245

  a + b + 6 8 + 4 4 + 4 0 + 6 0 6 = 5 5

212 + a + b = 330

β‡’ a + b = 118

βˆ‘ x i 2 n βˆ’ ( x Β― ) 2 = 1 9 4          

a 2 + b 2 + ( 6 8 ) 2 + ( 4 4 ) 2 + ( 4 0 ) 2 + ( 6 0 ) 2 6 = ( 5 5 ) 2 = 1 9 4

= 3219

11760 + a2 + b2 = 19314

β‡’ a2 + b2 = 19314 – 11760

= 7554

(a + b)2 –2ab = 7554

From here b = 41.795

a + b = 118

β‡’ a + b + 2b = 118 + 83.59

Kindly go throuigh the solution

Given   βˆ‘ i = 1 1 8 ( x i βˆ’ Ξ± ) = 3 6     i . e         βˆ‘ i = 1 1 8 x i βˆ’ 1 8 Ξ± = 3 6 . . . . . . . . . . ( i )

&       βˆ‘ i = 1 1 8 ( x i βˆ’ Ξ² ) 2 = 9 0         i . e βˆ‘ i = 1 1 8 x i 2 βˆ’ 2 Ξ² βˆ‘ x i + 1 8 Ξ² 2 = 9 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( i i )      

(i) & (ii)   βˆ‘ i = 1 1 8 x i 2 = 9 0 βˆ’ 1 8 Ξ² + 3 6 Ξ² ( Ξ± + 2 ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( i i i )

Now variance Οƒ 2 = βˆ‘ x i 2 n βˆ’ ( βˆ‘ x i n ) 2 = 1 given

->(a - b) (a - b + 4) = 0

Since Ξ± β‰  Ξ²     s o     | Ξ± βˆ’ Ξ² | = 4
