economics introduction to statistical method and econometrics introduction to statistics partition values frequency distribution tables and graphs

  1. Rs 16

  2. Rs 20

  3. Rs 24

  4. Rs 28

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Total wages paid by contractor to 18 laborers Rs 12 per day =$18\times 12=216 Rs

And total wages paid by contractor to 10 laborers Rs 13.50 per day =$10\times 13.5=135 Rs
And total wages paid by contractor to 5 laborers Rs 25 per day =$5\times 25=125 Rs
And total wages paid by contractor to 2 laborers Rs 42 per day =$2\times 42=84 Rs
Then total wages paid by contractor to all laborers=216+135+125+84=560 Rs
And total  laborers=18+10+5+2=35
Then average wages =$\frac{560}{35}=16 $ Rs
