Answer:
Mean = 47.52 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the following method to find the mean
Class interval Frequency(f) Class Mark(X) fx
40-44 3 42 126
45-49 4 47 188
50-54 10 52 520
55-59 6 57 342
60-64 2 62 124
.........................................................................................................
25 1188
.........................................
The formula for mean is:
Mean = ∑fx / ∑f
= 1188/25
= 47.52 degrees
The computed mean is less than the actual mean of 51.8 degrees ..
