Solution
Here, we observe that 5 students have scored marks below 10, i.e. it lies between class interval 0-10 and 9 students have scored marks below 20.
So, (9-5)=4 students lies in the class interval 10-20. Continuing in the same manner, we get the complete frequency distribution table for give data.

Here, (assumed mean) a=45
and (class width) h=10
By step deviation method,
Mean (¯x)=a+∑fiui∑fi×h=45+2985×10=45+5817 =45+3.41=48.41
So, (9-5)=4 students lies in the class interval 10-20. Continuing in the same manner, we get the complete frequency distribution table for give data.
