Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Calculate the Mean (xˉ\bar{x}).

    To calculate the mean using the step-deviation method, we first find the class mark (xix_i) for each interval, choose an assumed mean (aa), calculate ui=xi−ahu_i = \frac{x_i - a}{h}, and then fiuif_i u_i. The class size (hh) is 20−15=520-15=5. Let's choose the assumed mean a=37.5a = 37.5 (the class mark of the 5th class).

  2. Calculate the Mean (xˉ\bar{x}).

    Using the formula xˉ=a+∑fiui∑fi×h\bar{x} = a + \frac{\sum f_i u_i}{\sum f_i} \times h:

    xˉ=37.5+−34100×5\bar{x} = 37.5 + \frac{-34}{100} \times 5 xˉ=37.5−170100\bar{x} = 37.5 - \frac{170}{100} xˉ=37.5−1.7\bar{x} = 37.5 - 1.7 xˉ=35.8\bar{x} = 35.8

    The mean is 35.8\boxed{\text{35.8}}.

  3. Calculate the Median (M).

    First, we calculate the cumulative frequency (C.F.) and find the median class. The total frequency n=∑fi=100n = \sum f_i = 100, so n2=1002=50\frac{n}{2} = \frac{100}{2} = 50.

    45-50392
    50-55698
    55-602100

    The cumulative frequency just greater than 50 is 78, which corresponds to the class interval 35-40. This is our median class.
    From the median class:

    • Lower limit (ll) = 35
    • Frequency (ff) = 33
    • Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class (C.F.) = 45
    • Class size (hh) = 5
  4. Calculate the Median (M).

    Using the formula M=l+[n2−C.F.f]×hM = l + \left[\frac{\frac{n}{2} - C.F.}{f}\right] \times h:

    M=35+[50−4533]×5M = 35 + \left[\frac{50 - 45}{33}\right] \times 5 M=35+[533]×5M = 35 + \left[\frac{5}{33}\right] \times 5 M=35+2533M = 35 + \frac{25}{33} M=35+0.757575...M = 35 + 0.757575... M≈35.76M \approx 35.76

    The median is 35.76\boxed{\text{35.76}}.
