ASSUMED MEAN METHOD

To find mean,

x = a+​∑fi​di​​/∑fi
Where ‘a’ is assumed mean among the xi ‘di’ is the
difference between a and each of the xi.
ie, di = xi-a
 PROBLEM
Find mean using assumed mean method.

 ANSWER

Class No. of Class Di=xi-47.5 fidi

Interval Students (fi) mark
(xi)
10-25 2 11.5 -30 -60
25-40 3 32.5 -15 -45
40-55 7 47.5 0 0
55-70 6 62.5 15 90
70-85 6 77.5 30 180
85-100 6 92.5 45 270
TOTAL ∑fi = 30 ∑fidi=435

x = a+​∑fi​di​​/∑fi
x = 47.5 + 435/30 = 47.5 +14.5 = 62
