∑fd  =  15

Arithmetic mean  =  A + [∑fd / N] 

=  15 + (15/25)

=  15 + (3/5)

=  (75 + 3)/5

=  78/5

=  15.6

∑fd  =  115

Arithmetic mean  =  A + [∑fd / N] 

=  80 + (115/50)

=  80 + (23/10)

=  80 + 2.3

=  82.3

∑fd  =  -22

Arithmetic mean  =  A + [∑fd / N] 

=  16 + (-22/40)

=  16 - 0.55

=  15.45
