Final answer:

To find the mean number of milk (liters) for each given range using the assumed mean method, add up the lower and upper limits of each range and divide by 2 to find the assumed mean. Then, calculate the deviations, find the frequency, multiply it by the deviation, add them up, and divide by the total frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean number of milk (liters) for each given range using the assumed mean method, follow these steps:

  1. Add up the lower and upper limits of each range and divide by 2 to find the assumed mean.
  2. Calculate the deviations of each range by subtracting the assumed mean from the lower and upper limits.
  3. Find the frequency of each range (the number of observations).
  4. Multiply the frequency of each range by its respective deviation.
  5. Add up all the products obtained in step 4.
  6. Divide the sum obtained in step 5 by the total frequency.

By following these steps, you can find the mean number of milk (liters) for each given range: A. 0-2 liters, B. 2-4 liters, C. 4-6 liters, D. 6-8 liters.
