Question

Calculate the mean given the frequency table

Answer 1

Answer:

15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply the midpoint of each class by its frequency, as follows:

            Class      midpoint   frequency   midpoint*frequency  

            0-9         4.5             24                4.5*24 = 108

            10-19      14.5            20                14.5*20 = 290

            20-29    24.5           32                24.5*32 = 784

Total                                      76               1182

The mean is computed as the division between the addition of the "midpoint*frequency" column by the addition of "frequency" column.

mean = 1182/76 ≈ 15.6
