Question:

The mean of the following distribution is 25. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Class} & \text{Frequency} \\ \hline 0-10 & 14 \\ 10-20 & p \\ 20-30 & 27 \\ 30-40 & 21 \\ 40-50 & 15 \\ \hline \end{array} \]

Show Hint

For frequency distributions, to calculate the mean, multiply each class midpoint by the corresponding frequency, then divide by the total number of observations.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

We use the formula for mean \( \bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} \). Given that the mean is 25, we can calculate the value of \( p \) by solving for the equation.
