Assertion (A): For a grouped frequency distribution, we use Mean = A + (ΣftΣf)\Big(\dfrac{\Sigma f t}{\Sigma f}\Big) × h to find the mean using step deviation method.

Reason (R): Here t = (xAh)\Big(\dfrac{x − A}{h}\Big).

  1. A is true, R is false

  2. A is false, R is true

  3. Both A and R are true

  4. Both A and R are false

Answer

The standard formula to calculate the mean (xˉ\bar{x}) using the step-deviation method is:

xˉ=A+(ftf)×h\bar{x} = A + \Big( \dfrac{\sum ft}{\sum f} \Big) \times h

Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.

The step-deviation is defined as the difference between the class mark (x) and the assumed mean (A), divided by the class size (h):

t=xAht = \dfrac{x - A}{h}

Reason (R) is true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
