4. The following figures are the heights in cms of 7 children chosen at random:
$4.59, 67, 69, 65, 70, 68
Calculate the simple arithmetic mean of the heights by () Direct Method, (i) Short-cut Method, and
(Step Deviation Method.
(Mean height=66 cms)

Answer:
I don't know if I know I will tell you but I don't know
Given:
S.N. Height (X) Deviation from assumed mean d=(X − A) d'=d/i=d/2
1 44 −5 -2.5
2 59 −10 -5
3 67 −2 -1
4 69=A 0 0
5 65 -4 -2
6 70 1 0.5
7 68 -1 -0.5
N=7 ∑X=462 Σd=−21 Σd'= −10.5
(1) Calculating mean height using direct method:
=64+59+67+69+65+70+68/7
=462/7
=66cms
(ii) Calculating mean height using short cut method:
X=A+∑d/N
=69−21/7
=69-3
=66cms
(iii) Calculating mean height using step-deviation method:
Hence the arithmetic mean of the heights is 66cms
