Solution

The correct option is C 15
$\begin{matrix} x_{i} & f_{i} & x_{i} \times f_{i} 5 & 2 & 10 8 & 5 & 40 10 & 8 & 80 12 & 22 & 264 p & 7 & 7 p 20 & 4 & 80 25 & 2 & 50 T o t a l & 50 & 524 + 7 p \end{matrix}$

$∴ M e a n (¯ x) = \frac{\sum f_{i} x_{i}}{\sum f_{i}} \Rightarrow 12.58 = \frac{524 + 7 p}{50} \Rightarrow 629 = 524 + 7 p \Rightarrow 7 p = 105 \Rightarrow p = 15$
