Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Mean = \(\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}\)
= \(\frac{192}{40}\)
= 4.8
| x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Total |
| f | 2 | 3 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 40 |
| fx | 2 | 6 | 18 | 28 | 45 | 36 | 14 | 16 | 27 | 192 |
Mean = \(\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}\)
= \(\frac{192}{40}\)
= 4.8
