Answer. [201.95]

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)
    Weight xi fi fixi
    200-201 200.5 13 2606.5
    201-202 201.5 27 5440.5
    202-203 202.5 18 3645.0
    203-204 203.5 10 2035.0
    204-205 204.5 1 204.5
    205-206 205.5 1 205.5
        \sum f_{i}= 70 \sum f_{i}x_{i}= 14137

    mean\left ( \bar{x} \right )= \frac{\sum f_{i}x_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}= \frac{14137}{70}= 201\cdot 95
