If for some , the frequency distribution of the marks obtained by 20 students in a test is
\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
Marks & 2 & 3 & 5 & 7 \\
Frequency & & & &
\end{tabular}
Then the mean of the marks is:
\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
Marks & 2 & 3 & 5 & 7 \\
Frequency & & & &
\end{tabular}
Then the mean of the marks is:
- (A)2.8✓ Correct
- (B)3.2
- (C)2.5
- (D)3.0
Answer: (A)
