Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
x 1 2 3 4 5 Total
f y + 2 y - 1 2y - 3 y + 4 3y - 4 8y - 2
fx y + 2 2y - 2 6y - 9 4y + 16 15y - 20 28y - 13

Mean = \(\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}\)

\(\therefore \frac{28y - 13}{8y - 2} = \frac{43}{14}\)

\(\implies 14(28y - 13) = 43(8y - 2)\)

\(392y - 182 = 344y - 86\)

\(392y - 344y = -86 + 182 \implies 48y = 96\)

\(y = 2\)
