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.
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.
