From the given data, let us assume the mean as A = 75.5

xupper limit+lower limit2

Class size (h) = 3

Now, find the ui and fiui as follows:

Class IntervalNumber of women (fi)Mid-point (xi)ui = (xi – 75.5)/hfiui
65-68266.5-3-6
68-71469.5-2-8
71-74372.5-1-3
74-77875.500
77-80778.517
80-83481.528
83-86284.536
 Sum fi= 30  Sum fiu= 4

Mean = x̄ = A + h fiui fi 

= 75.5 + 3×430

= 75.5 + 410

= 75.5 + 0.4

= 75.9

Therefore, the mean heart beats per minute for these women is 75.9.
