Solution

The correct option is C 20.1
Here, class mark of the first interval =Lower class limit + Upper class limit2
=0+102=5

Similarly, we can find the midpoints of all the class intervals.
Class Interval0101020203030404050Frequency (fi)5151023class mark (xi)515253545fixi2522525070135

fi = 5 + 15 + 10 + 2 + 3
= 35

fixi = 25 + 225 + 250 + 70 + 135
= 705

Mean=fixifi
=70535
=20.1
