Solution

The correct option is B (ii)
Mean can be calculated for any number of data except one. The mean of a raw data is their simple average.
For grouped data, there are three methods of calculating the mean:
i. Direct method
ii. Assumed mean method
And, iii. Step deviation method.

Consider a grouped data distribution for which the mean is found by assumed mean method.

P = sum of the products of ‘d’ and frequency for each class interval

Here $d_{i} = x_{i} - A$

Q = total number of observations

A = assumed mean

M = mean of given grouped data distribution
