Here are the calculations for the arithmetic mean using the specified methods.

1. Calculate arithmetic mean using Assumed Mean Method.
Given:
Size (xx): 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11
Frequency (ff): 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 10, 7, 4, 2, 1
Assumed Mean (AA) = 15

Step 1: Create a table to calculate d=x−Ad = x - A and fdfd.

xfd=x−15fd20155192481843121782161611111151000147−1−7134−2−8122−3−6111−4−4∑∑f=50∑fd=27\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline x & f & d = x - 15 & fd \\ \hline 20 & 1 & 5 & 5 \\ 19 & 2 & 4 & 8 \\ 18 & 4 & 3 & 12 \\ 17 & 8 & 2 & 16 \\ 16 & 11 & 1 & 11 \\ 15 & 10 & 0 & 0 \\ 14 & 7 & -1 & -7 \\ 13 & 4 & -2 & -8 \\ 12 & 2 & -3 & -6 \\ 11 & 1 & -4 & -4 \\ \hline \sum & \sum f = 50 & & \sum fd = 27 \\ \hline \end{array}

Step 2: Apply the formula for the Assumed Mean Method.
The formula for the arithmetic mean using the Assumed Mean Method is xˉ=A+∑fd∑f\bar{x} = A + \frac{\sum fd}{\sum f}.

xˉ=15+2750\bar{x} = 15 + \frac{27}{50}

Step 3: Calculate the arithmetic mean.

xˉ=15+0.54xˉ=15.54\bar{x} = 15 + 0.54 \\ \bar{x} = 15.54

The arithmetic mean is 15.54\boxed{\textbf{15.54}}.

2. Calculate arithmetic mean using Direct and Assumed Mean Methods.
Given:
Marks (xx): 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
No. of Students (ff): 12, 10, 18, 20, 24

Direct Method

  1. Create a table to calculate fxfx.

    xffx4124851050618108720140824192∑∑f=84∑fx=538\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline x & f & fx \\ \hline 4 & 12 & 48 \\ 5 & 10 & 50 \\ 6 & 18 & 108 \\ 7 & 20 & 140 \\ 8 & 24 & 192 \\ \hline \sum & \sum f = 84 & \sum fx = 538 \\ \hline \end{array}
  2. Apply the formula for the Direct Method.

    The formula for the arithmetic mean using the Direct Method is xˉ=∑fx∑f\bar{x} = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}.

    xˉ=53884\bar{x} = \frac{538}{84}
  3. Calculate the arithmetic mean.

    xˉ≈6.40476xˉ≈6.40 marks\bar{x} \approx 6.40476 \\ \bar{x} \approx 6.40 \text{ marks}

    The arithmetic mean using the Direct Method is 6.40 marks\boxed{\textbf{6.40 marks}}.

Assumed Mean Method

  1. Choose an assumed mean (AA).

    Let A=6A = 6. Create a table to calculate d=x−Ad = x - A and fdfd.

    xfd=x−6fd412−2−24510−1−1061800720120824248∑∑f=84∑fd=34\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline x & f & d = x - 6 & fd \\ \hline 4 & 12 & -2 & -24 \\ 5 & 10 & -1 & -10 \\ 6 & 18 & 0 & 0 \\ 7 & 20 & 1 & 20 \\ 8 & 24 & 2 & 48 \\ \hline \sum & \sum f = 84 & & \sum fd = 34 \\ \hline \end{array}
  2. Apply the formula for the Assumed Mean Method.

    The formula for the arithmetic mean using the Assumed Mean Method is xˉ=A+∑fd∑f\bar{x} = A + \frac{\sum fd}{\sum f}.

    xˉ=6+3484\bar{x} = 6 + \frac{34}{84}
  3. Calculate the arithmetic mean.

    xˉ=6+0.40476xˉ≈6.40 marks\bar{x} = 6 + 0.40476 \\ \bar{x} \approx 6.40 \text{ marks}

    The arithmetic mean using the Assumed Mean Method is 6.40 marks\boxed{\textbf{6.40 marks}}.
