Total: 46
Find the mean of the following distribution by step deviation method:
 Class Interval  20-30  30-40  40-50  50-60  60-70  70-80
 Frequency  10  6  8  12  5  9
Solution:  
 C.I.  Frequency (fi)  Mid-value(x)  di=
xa
h
 fidi
 20-30  10  25  -2  -20
 30-40  6  35  -1  -6
 40-50  8  45  0  0
 50-60  12  55  1  12
 60-70  5  65  2  10
 70-80  9  75  3  27
   Σfi=50      Σfidi=50

Here, a=45 and h=10
Mean =a+
Σfidi
Σfi
