Question
While calculating the mean of a given data by the assumed-mean method, the following
values were obtained.
`A=25, sum f_i d_i=110, sum f_i= 50`
Find the mean.
Solution
According to assumed-mean method,
𝑥̅ = 𝐴 +`(sum_i f_i d_i)/(sum _i f_i)`
= 25 +`110/50`
= 25 + 2.2
= 27.2
Thus, mean is 27.2.
