Answers
The arithmetic mean is 51.625.
Given:
The data
Marks 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79
Frequency 5 11 18 22 16 8
To Find:
The arithmetic mean of the given data.
Solution:
We have been given,
Marks 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79
Frequency 5 11 18 22 16 8
Step 1: We will find the mid-point of each range.
The given set of data has equal intervals.
Midpoint (x) = (Upper limit + Lower limit)/2
Step 2: We will calculate ∑x f.
Step 3: We will calculate the arithmetic mean = ∑x f/ ∑f
Marks Midpoint(x) Frequency (f) ∑x f
20-29 24.5 5 122.5
30-39 34.5 11 379.5
40-49 44.5 18 801
50-59 54.5 22 1199
60-69 64.5 16 1032
70-79 74.5 8 596
∑f = 80 ∑x f = 4130
The arithmetic mean = ∑x f/ ∑f = 4130/80 = 51.625
Hence the arithmetic mean is 51.625.
