Open in App
Solution

Marks Frequency (fi) Deviation (di)

di = (xi - 150)

(fidi)
110 10 -40 -400
130 20 -20 -400
150 = A 30 0 0
170 15 20 300
190 5 40 200
Total ∑fi=80 ∑(fi×di)=−300

Let A = 150 be the assumed mean. Then we have:

Mean, ¯x=A+[∑(fi×di)/∑fi]

= 150 + (-300/80)

= 150 - 3.75

Therefore, ¯x= 146.25
