Σfi = 20

 

Σfixi = 162

 

Here, we have
                         sum from blank to blank of straight f subscript straight i equals 20 comma space sum from blank to blank of straight f subscript straight i straight x subscript straight i = 162
Now,                  top enclose straight x equals fraction numerator begin display style sum from blank to blank of end style f subscript i x subscript i over denominator begin display style sum from blank to blank of end style f subscript i end fraction equals 162 over 2 equals 8.1

Hence, the mean number of plants per house = 8.1
We have used the direct method for finding the mean because numerical values of xiand fi are small.
