Finding Mean for Grouped Data When Class Intervals Are Given

Question 1In ...

Question

Question 1
In the formula $¯ x = a + \frac{\sum f_{i} d_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}$ , for finding the mean of grouped data $d_{i}^{'} s$ are deviation from a of
(a) lower limits of the classes
(b) upper limits of the classes
(c) mid-points of the classes
(d) frequencies of the class marks

Open in App

Solution

We know that, $d_{i} = x_{i} - a$
i.e., $d_{i}^{'} s$ are the deviation from a of mid-points of the classes.
