TotalΣf = 63 + fΣfx = 1235 + 35f

By formula,

Mean = ΣfxΣf\dfrac{Σfx}{Σf}

2117=1235+35f63+f1487=1235+35f63+f148(63+f)=7(1235+35f)9324+148f=8645+245f245f148f=9324864597f=679f=67997=7.\Rightarrow 21\dfrac{1}{7} = \dfrac{1235 + 35f}{63 + f} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{148}{7} = \dfrac{1235 + 35f}{63 + f} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 148(63 + f) = 7(1235 + 35f) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9324 + 148f = 8645 + 245f \\[1em] \Rightarrow 245f - 148f = 9324 - 8645 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 97f = 679 \\[1em] \Rightarrow f = \dfrac{679}{97} = 7.

Hence, f = 7.
