Solution

The correct option is D 0.098
Let assumed mean, i.e., $a = 0.10$

$\begin{matrix} C l a s s i n t e r v a l & F r e q u e n c y (f_{i}) & C l a s s m a r k (x_{i}) & d_{i} = x_{i} - a & f_{i} d_{i} 0.00 - 0.04 & 4 & 0.02 & - 0.08 & - 0.32 0.04 - 0.08 & 9 & 0.06 & - 0.04 & - 0.36 0.08 - 0.12 & 9 & 0.10 & 0.00 & 0.00 0.12 - 0.16 & 2 & 0.14 & 0.04 & 0.08 0.16 - 0.20 & 4 & 0.18 & 0.08 & 0.32 0.20 - 0.24 & 2 & 0.22 & 0.12 & 0.24 T o t a l & \sum f_{i} = 30 & \sum f_{i} d_{i} = - 0.04 \end{matrix}$

$M e a n = (x) = a + \frac{\sum f_{i} d_{i}}{\sum f_{i}} = 0.10 + \frac{- 0.04}{30} = 0.09866$

So, the mean of $S O_{2}$ concentration = 0.098
