The bar chart shows the frequency distribution of marks scored by students in a class test. Calculate the mean of the distribution.
6.0
3.0
2.4
1.8

Explanation

\(\begin{array}{c|c} x & f & fx\\ \hline 1 & 6 & 6 \\
2 & 8 & 16\\ 3 & 8 & 18\\ 4 & 5 & 20\end{array}\)

mean x = \(\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}\)

= \(\frac{60}{25}\)

x = 2.4
