Arithmetic Mean: Continuous Series

Q. Calculate arithmetic mean by using common factor from the following data:-

MARKS NO. OF STUDENTS

0-10 5
10-30 12
30-60 25
60-100 8

SOLUTION:-

In this solution, let assumed mean(A) of marks obtained based on mid point, A=45

MARKS MID POINT NO. OF (m-A) (m-A)/i, fd

(m) STUDENTS (f) i=common
factor
(d)
0-10 5 5 -40 -8 -40
10-30 20 12 -25 -5 -60
30-60 45 25 0 0 0
60-100 80 8 35 7 56
N=50 fd= -44

X́ = A+( fd/N*i)

= 45+(-44/50*5)

=45-4.4

=40.6
