The class midpoints are xi:15,25,35,45,55x_i:15,25,35,45,55 with frequencies fi:5,10,20,10,5f_i:5,10,20,10,5, so N=5+10+20+10+5=50N=5+10+20+10+5=50. Now ∑fixi=15(5)+25(10)+35(20)+45(10)+55(5)=75+250+700+450+275=1750\sum f_ix_i=15(5)+25(10)+35(20)+45(10)+55(5)=75+250+700+450+275=1750, giving xˉ=1750/50=35\bar x=1750/50=35. Absolute deviations ∣xi−35∣|x_i-35|: 20,10,0,10,2020,10,0,10,20. Weighted: $f_i|x_i-\bar x|=5(20)+10(10)+20(0)+10(10)+5(20) …
