# Finding the Mean from Graphical Representation

Here we will learn how to find the mean from graphical representation.

The ogive of the distribution of marks of 45 students is given below.

Find the mean of the distribution.

Solution:

The cumulative-frequency table is as given below.

Writing in overlapping class intervals, the distribution is as below.

The calculations are as given below.

 Class Interval Class Mark (mi) Frequency (fi) mifi 0 - 20 10 10 100 20 - 40 30 20 600 40 - 60 50 5 250 60 - 80 70 5 350 80 - 100 90 5 450 $$\sum f_{i}$$ = 45 $$\sum m_{i}f_{i}$$ = 1750

Therefore, mean A = $$\frac{\sum m_{i}f_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}$$

= $$\frac{1750}{45}$$

= 38.89
