23.5

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. The formula for the mean of a grouped frequency distribution is

    xˉ=∑(fi⋅xi)N,\bar{x} = \frac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i)}{N},

    where xix_i is the class midpoint in hours per week, fif_i is the frequency, and N=200N = 200 students.

  2. Compute the class midpoints xix_i in hours per week.

    x1=0+92=4.5,x_1 = \frac{0+9}{2} = 4.5, x2=10+192=14.5,x_2 = \frac{10+19}{2} = 14.5, x3=20+292=24.5,x_3 = \frac{20+29}{2} = 24.5, x4=30+392=34.5.x_4 = \frac{30+39}{2} = 34.5.
  3. Compute each product fi⋅xif_i \cdot x_i in hours per week.

    20×4.5=90,20 \times 4.5 = 90, 50×14.5=725,50 \times 14.5 = 725, 60×24.5=1470,60 \times 24.5 = 1470, 70×34.5=2415.70 \times 34.5 = 2415.
  4. Sum the products.

    ∑(fi⋅xi)=90+725+1470+2415=4700.\sum (f_i \cdot x_i) = 90 + 725 + 1470 + 2415 = 4700.
  5. Compute the mean.

    xˉ=4700200=23.5.\bar{x} = \frac{4700}{200} = 23.5.

    The mean is 23.5\boxed{23.5} hours per week.
