Calculation and Results
1) Class1 (Motorcycle)
Mean speed: 39.51km/hr
Maximum speed: 60km/hr
Minimum speed: 23km/hr

2) Class2 (Car)
Mean speed: 55.47km/hr
Maximum speed: 70km/hr
Minimum speed: 30km/hr

3) Class3 (Vans and Medium Trucks)

Mean speed: 52km/hr
Maximum speed: 52km/hr
Minimum speed: 52km/hr

4) Class4 (Heavy Trucks and Buses)

Mean speed: 50km/hr
Maximum speed: 50km/hr
Minimum speed: 50km/hr

5) Mode Speed
Mode is the class with the highest frequency.
= (50-59) km/h with 35 vehicles.

6) Mean Speed
Mean speed = fx

f = frequency of observations in the class

x = mid-point of each class
n = total number of observations

( )−𝑓𝐿
Median speed = 𝐿 + ( 2

𝑓𝑚

L = lower limit of the class in which the median lies n = total number of observations
fL = cumulative number of observations up to the lower limit of the class in which the
median lies
fm = number of observations in the class in which the median lies C = speed interval of
the group

= 52.8km/hr

8) Standard Deviation

𝛴𝑓𝑥 2 (𝛴𝑓𝑥)2
Standard Deviation = √ 𝑛−1 − 𝑛(𝑛−1)

f = frequency of observations in the particular class
x = mid-point of each class
n = total number of observations
