Answer.   [26]
Solution.  Here we calculate mean by following the given steps:

  1. Find the mid point of each interval.
  2. Multiply the frequency of each interval by its mid point.
  3. Get the sum of all the frequencies (f) and sum of all the (fx)
  4. Now divide sum of (fx) by sum of (f)
    No.of pages written per day no.of days(fi) (xi) fixi
    16-18 1 17 17
    19-21 3 20 60
    22-24 4 23 92
    25-27 9 26 234
    28-30 13 29 377
      \sum f_{i}= 30  

    \sum f_{i}x_{i}= 780


    mean\left ( \bar{x} \right )= \frac{\sum f_{i}x_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}= \frac{780}{30}= 26
