MCQ
Which computing the mean of grouped data, it is assumed that the frequencies are
  • A
    centred at the lower limits of the classes
  • B
    centred at the upper limits of the classes
  • centred at the class marks of the classes
  • D
    evenly distributed over all the classes.

Answer

Correct option: C.
centred at the class marks of the classes
(c)
The mean $\bar{X}$ of the grouped data is given by
$\bar{X}=\frac{1}{N} \sum f_1 x_1$ where $x_i^{\prime} s$ are the mid-values of the class-intervals.
Therefore, class frequencies are centred at the class marks of the classes.
