Question
Using step$-$deviation method, calculate the mean marks of the following distribution
Class Interval $50 - 55$ $55 - 60$ $60 - 65$ $65 - 70$ $70 - 75$ $75 - 80$ $80 - 85$ $85 - 90$
Frequency $5$ $20$ $10$ $10$ $9$ $6$ $12$ $8$

Answer

$\therefore \text { Mean } X = A +\frac{\sum f \cdot u}{\sum f} \times i .[ i =\text { length of C.I. }]$
$=67.5+\frac{24}{80} \times 5$
$=67.5+1.5$
$=69 .$
