Question 1.1. The following table shows the number of saplings planted by 30 students. Fill in the boxes and find the average number of saplings planted by each student.
| No. of saplings (Scores) xi | No. of students (frequency) fi | fi × xi |
| 1 | 4 | 4 |
| 2 | 6 | [?] |
| 3 | 12 | [?] |
| 4 | 8 | [?] |
| N = [?] | Σ fixi = [?] |
Mean (\(\bar{x}\)) = \(\frac{[?]}{N}\) =\(\frac{[?]}{[?]}\)= [?]
∴ The average number of trees planted [?]
| No. of saplings (Scores) xi | No. of students (frequency) fi | fi × xi |
| 1 | 4 | 4 |
| 2 | 6 | [12] |
| 3 | 12 | [36] |
| 4 | 8 | [32] |
| N = [30] | Σ fixi = [84] |
Mean (\(\bar{x}\)) = \(\frac{∑f_ix_i}{N}\) = \(\frac{84}{30}\) = [2.8]
∴ The average number of trees planted [2.8]
