If for some xR, the frequency distribution of the marks obtained by 20 students in a test is:

Marks2357
Frequency distributionx+122x-5x2-3xx

Then the mean of the marks is :

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Total students =20

  x+12+2x-5+x2-3x+x=20

   x2+2x+1+2x-5+x2-3x+x=20

   2x2+2x-24=0    x2+x-12=0

    x=-4, 3      x>0

    x=3

Average =x+12×2+2x-53+5x2-3x+7×x20

=32+3+0+2120=2.8

Hence, required mean is 2.8
