Answer
The standard formula to calculate the mean () using the step-deviation method is:
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):
Reason (R) is true.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
