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 = 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 c . f . f × h = 1 2 + 1 3 . 5 1 3 8 × 4

= 1 2 + 5 2

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

20 M = 20 × 12.25

= 245

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

212 + a + b = 330

a + b = 118

x i 2 n ( x ¯ ) 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

a2 + b2 = 19314 – 11760

= 7554

(a + b)2 –2ab = 7554

From here b = 41.795

a + b = 118

a + b + 2b = 118 + 83.59

= 201.59

Kindly go throuigh the solution

Given   i = 1 1 8 ( x i α ) = 3 6 i . e i = 1 1 8 x i 1 8 α = 3 6 . . . . . . . . . . ( i )

&       i = 1 1 8 ( x i β ) 2 = 9 0 i . e i = 1 1 8 x i 2 2 β x i + 1 8 β 2 = 9 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( i i )      

(i) & (ii)   i = 1 1 8 x i 2 = 9 0 1 8 β + 3 6 β ( α + 2 ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( i i i )

Now variance σ 2 = x i 2 n ( x i n ) 2 = 1 given

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

Since α β s o | α β | = 4
