8. Some characteristics of annually family income distribution (in Birr) in two regions is as
follows:
Region Mean Median Standard Deviation
A 6250 5100 960
B 6980 5500 940
a) For which region is the income more consistent?
b) If a household X from region A has an annual family income of 5800 birr and a
household Y from region B has an annual family income of 6200 birr. Relatively
speaking, which household earns higherannual income?
Icome No. of persons
100-200 15
100-300 33
100-400 63
100-500 83
100-600 100
The following data on income in the form of cumulative frequency distribution is given:
Find (a) construct a complete Grouped
Frequency table
(b) Draw the appropriate graph
(c) The mean
(d) The median and all quartiles
(e) The 2nd and the 8
th deciles
(f) The 40th and the 90th percentiles
a) Determine the missing frequencies of the following distribution given that the median
is 33.5 and themode is 34.0.
Class limits 0-9 10-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 Total
Freq. 4 16 f3 f4 f5 6 4 230
b) Compute the arithmetic mean.
c) Compute the value below which 25% of the observations lie.
d) Compute the value above which 25% of the observations lie
