Consecutive numbers are always 1 away from each other
3,4

so consecutive is represented by
x and x+1
so sum is -171
x+x+1=-171
add like terms
2x+1=-171
subtract 1 from both sides
2x=-172
divide both sides by 2
x=-86
subustitute
x+1=otehr number
x+1=-86+1=-85
answer is -85 and -86

Form a table as below;

<u>Interval         Frequency{f}      Midpoint of frequency{x}          fx    </u>

1-7                    19                         4                                            76

8-10                  14                         9                                            126

11-15                  15                         13                                           195

16-20                20                        18                                           360

21-35                 10                        28                                          280

36-50                13                         43                                          559

Sum                   91                                                                        1596

The mean  of grouped data = Sum of { Interval Midpoint * Frequency } /Sum of frequency

The mean= 1596 / 91

The mean = 17.54
