Question:
The weights of tea in 70 packets are shown in the following table
Find the mean weight of packets.
Solution:
First,we find the class marks of the given data as follows,
Here, (assume mean) $a=203.5$
and (class width) $\quad h=1$
By assumed mean method,
$\operatorname{Mean}(\bar{x})=a+\frac{\Sigma f d_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}$
$=203.5-\frac{108}{70}$
$=203.5-1.54=201.96$
Hence, the required mean weight is 201.96 g
