Question Image
Considering the assumed mean a = 75.5
Class size h = 68 – 65 = 3
By using the step-deviation method, the given data can be written as-
Question ImageFrom the table, we get
f i =30 f i u i =4  
Now, using the formula for mean-
Mean( x ¯ )=a+h× f i u i f i   Substituting the values, we get
Mean ( x ¯ )=75.5+3× 4 30 Mean ( x ¯ )=75.5+ 2 5 Mean ( x ¯ )=75.5+0.4 Mean ( x ¯ )=75.9  
Hence, the mean heartbeats per minute for the given thirty women is 75.9.
Therefore, the given statement is false.
Hence the correct option is 2.
