Mean Marks Afaaaf
1. **State the problem:** We are given the number of students in different mark intervals and need to calculate the mean mark.
2. **Formula for mean in grouped data:**
$$\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$$
where $f_i$ is the frequency (number of students) in each class interval and $x_i$ is the midpoint of each class interval.
3. **Calculate midpoints ($x_i$) of each class interval:**
- For 0-10: $\frac{0+10}{2} = 5$
- For 10-20: $\frac{10+20}{2} = 15$
- For 20-30: $\frac{20+30}{2} = 25$
- For 30-40: $\frac{30+40}{2} = 35$
- For 40-50: $\frac{40+50}{2} = 45$
- For 50-60: $\frac{50+60}{2} = 55$
- For 60-70: $\frac{60+70}{2} = 65$
4. **List frequencies ($f_i$):** 4, 8, 11, 15, 12, 6, 2
5. **Calculate $f_i x_i$ for each interval:**
- $4 \times 5 = 20$
- $8 \times 15 = 120$
- $11 \times 25 = 275$
- $15 \times 35 = 525$
- $12 \times 45 = 540$
- $6 \times 55 = 330$
- $2 \times 65 = 130$
6. **Sum of frequencies:**
$$\sum f_i = 4 + 8 + 11 + 15 + 12 + 6 + 2 = 58$$
7. **Sum of $f_i x_i$:**
$$\sum f_i x_i = 20 + 120 + 275 + 525 + 540 + 330 + 130 = 1940$$
8. **Calculate mean:**
$$\text{Mean} = \frac{1940}{58} = 33.45$$
**Final answer:** The mean mark of the 58 students is approximately **33.45**.
