We may calculate class marks (x_i) for each interval by using the relation

x_i =

Class size = 50

Now taking 225 as assumed mean we can calculate as follows:

Daily expenditure (In Rs)	f_i	d_i = x_i – A = x_i - 225	u_i =	x_i	f_iu_i
100-150	4	-100	-2	125	-8
150-200	5	-50	-1	175	-5
200-250	12	0	0	225	0
250-300	2	50	1	275	2
300-350	2	100	2	325	4
	N = 25				∑f_iu_i = -7

Mean (x̅) = A + * h

= 225 + * 50

= 225 – 14 = 211

So mean expenditure on food is 211
