Question:
Find the mean of each of the following frequency distributions :
Solution:
Let the assumed mean be A = 100 and h = 20.
We know that mean $\bar{X}=A+h\left(\frac{1}{N} \sum f_{i} u_{i}\right)$
Now we have $N=\sum f_{i}=100, \sum f_{i} u_{i}=61, h=20$ and $A=100$
Putting the values in the above formula, we get
$\bar{X}=A+h\left(\frac{1}{N} \sum f_{i} u_{i}\right)$
$=100+20\left(\frac{1}{100} \times(61)\right)$
$=100+\frac{1220}{100}$
$=100+12.20$
$=112.20$
Hence, the mean is 112.20.
