Step-by-step solution
4 stepsCalculate the Mean ().
To calculate the mean using the step-deviation method, we first find the class mark () for each interval, choose an assumed mean (), calculate , and then . The class size () is . Let's choose the assumed mean (the class mark of the 5th class).
Class Interval 15-20 2 17.5 -20 -4 -8 20-25 4 22.5 -15 -3 -12 25-30 18 27.5 -10 -2 -36 30-35 21 32.5 -5 -1 -21 35-40 33 37.5 0 0 0 40-45 11 42.5 5 1 11 45-50 3 47.5 10 2 6 50-55 6 52.5 15 3 18 55-60 2 57.5 20 4 8 Total Calculate the Mean ().
Using the formula :
The mean is .
Calculate the Median (M).
First, we calculate the cumulative frequency (C.F.) and find the median class. The total frequency , so .
Class Interval C.F. 15-20 2 2 20-25 4 6 25-30 18 24 30-35 21 45 35-40 33 78 40-45 11 89 45-50 3 92 50-55 6 98 55-60 2 100 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 () = 35
- Frequency () = 33
- Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class (C.F.) = 45
- Class size () = 5
Calculate the Median (M).
Using the formula :
The median is .
