Question #202344

what is the y-coordinate of the center of mass of a plane of the same shape as the histogram of the distribution ?


Expert's answer

Cy=∑CiyAi∑AiC_{y}=\frac{\sum C_{iy}A_i}{\sum A_i}

where Ai=dfiA_i=df_i is area i-th part of histogram,

Ciy=fi/2C_{iy}=f_i/2 is y-coordinate of the center of mass of i-th part of histogram,

fif_i is frequency,

dd is width of interval.


Then:

Cy=∑dfi22∑dfiC_y=\frac{\sum df_i^2}{2\sum df_i}
