Answer:

15.6

Explanation:

First, multiply the midpoint of each class by its frequency, as follows:

Class midpoint frequency midpoint*frequency

0-9 4.5 24 4.5*24 = 108

10-19 14.5 20 14.5*20 = 290

20-29 24.5 32 24.5*32 = 784

Total 76 1182

The mean is computed as the division between the addition of the "midpoint*frequency" column by the addition of "frequency" column.

mean = 1182/76 ≈ 15.6
