Steps contd.
CCP-303.20 5
Formula
X or A.M. =A
fd
N
Where
X = Arithmetic mean
f = frequency
d = (m-A)
∑fd = Sum of products of the deviations from the
assumed mean and the frequencies
N = Total frequency

Example 1:
No of 10 20 50 60 40 20
students
CCP-303.20 7
Solution to Ex. 1:
Let the marks be denoted by X and the number
of students by f
CALCULATION OF ARITHMETIC MEAN
A= 35
A.M. = A + ∑fd
N
A.M. = 35 + -400
200
= 35 – 2
= 33
A.M. = 33 marks

Example 2:
No of 5 20 25 30 20 10
students
CCP-303.20 10
Solution to Ex.2:
Let the marks be denoted by X and the
number of students by f
CALCULATION OF ARITHMETIC MEAN

A.M. = N
400
A.M. = 35
110
= 35 – 3.6363
= 31.3636
A.M. = 31 marks
