    If the mean of the given data is 5.3, find the missing frequency 'p'.
    \[x\] 4 8 6 7
    \[f\] 11 2 3 p

    A)  1.7                             

    B)  3                    

    C)  6.8                 

    D)    4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given mean = 5.3 We know that mean \[=\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}{{{f}_{i}}{{x}_{i}}}}{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}{{{f}_{i}}}}\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{4\times 11+8\times 2+6\times 3+7p}{11+2+3+p}=5.3\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[p=\frac{6.8}{1.7}=4\]
