$\Sigma\text{p}_0=65.5$
$\Sigma\text{p}_1=87$
$\Sigma\text{I}=804.3$
  1. Simple Aggretive Methode:
$\text{P}_{01}=\frac{\Sigma\text{p}_1}{\Sigma\text{q}_0}\times100=\frac{87}{65.5}\times100=132.8$
  1. Simple Avrage of Relative Methode:
$\text{P}_{01}=\frac{\Sigma\text{I}}{\text{n}}=\frac{804.3}{6}=134.05$
