1.Find the mean salary for a small company which pays annual salaries to its employees
as shown in the following frequency distribution.
Salary No. of
P11,000 P12,500 P13,200 P18,500 P21,400 P25,600 10 9 8 6 3 2 Employees
Solution:
��̅=∑ x w = (11,000) (10) + (12,500) (9) + (13,200) (8) + (18,500) (6) +
2. Adidas sold 120 running shoes for a regular price of P5,000. For summer sale the shoes
were reduced to P4,500 and 145 were sold. At the final clearance, the price was reduced to
P3,000 and the remaining 35 were sold. What was the weighted mean price of Adidas
running shoes?
Solution:
��̅=∑ x w = (5,000) (120) + (4,500) (145) + (3,000) (35) w 300
= 1,357,500
