| class interval | $0-10$ | $10-20$ | $20-30$ | $30-40$ | $40-50$ |
| Frequemcy | $3$ | $5$ | $9$ | $5$ | $3$ |
- ✓$20$
- B$24$

View full question & answer→Correct option: A.
$20$
The frequency distribution table from the given data can be drawn as :
Now, mean, $\bar{x}=\frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$
$\Rightarrow 18=\frac{20 f+752}{f+44}$
$\Rightarrow 20 f+752=18 f+792$
$\Rightarrow 20 f-18 f=792-752$
$\Rightarrow 2 f=40$
$\Rightarrow f=\frac{40}{2}=20$
Hence, the fourth frequency, $f$ is $20 .$
| Daily allowance $($in $₹)$ | Class mark $\left(x_i\right)$ | Number of children $\left(f_i\right)$ | $f_i x_i$ |
| $11-13$ | $12$ | $7$ | $84$ |
| $13-15$ | $14$ | $6$ | $84$ |
| $15-17$ | $16$ | $9$ | $144$ |
| $17-19$ | $18$ | $13$ | $234$ |
| $19-21$ | $20$ | $f$ | $20f$ |
| $21-23$ | $22$ | $5$ | $110$ |
| $23-25$ | $24$ | $4$ | $96$ |
| $\sum f_i=f+44$ | $\Sigma f_i x_i=$ $20 f+752$ |
$\Rightarrow 18=\frac{20 f+752}{f+44}$
$\Rightarrow 20 f+752=18 f+792$
$\Rightarrow 20 f-18 f=792-752$
$\Rightarrow 2 f=40$
$\Rightarrow f=\frac{40}{2}=20$
Hence, the fourth frequency, $f$ is $20 .$
