CI=0-8,8-16,16-24,24-32,32-40. F=6,7,10,8,9. which method:-
assumed mean or step deviation
Answers
Mean of the data = 20.175.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following frequency distribution below;
C.I. F X
0 - 8 6 4 -2 -12
8 - 16 7 12 -1 -7
16 - 24 10 A = 20 0 0
24 - 32 8 28 1 8
32 - 40 9 36 2 18
Total 40 7
Here, A = assumed mean means the mean which we have assumed while doing calculations.
Now, the mean formula for any frequency distribution using assumed mean method is given by;
Mean, =
=
= 20 + 0.175 = 20.175
Hence, the mean of the data using assumed mean method is 20.175.
