Question
For the following distribution, calculate mean using all suitable methods.
Size of item
$1-4$
$4-9$
$9-16$
$16-27$
Frequency
$6$
$12$
$26$
$20$

Answer

Let assumed mean $(A) = 12.5$
Size of item
Class Marks $(x)$
Frequency $(f)$
$d_i = x - A A = 12.5$
$f_id_i$
1-4
2.5

$\text{Mean}=\text{A}+\text{hx}\frac{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{d}_\text{i}}{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}}=12.5+\frac{48}{64}$
$=12.5+\frac{3}{4}=12.5+0.75=13.25$
