Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Diameter (cm) - mid point(X) - frequency(F) - - FX

35-39 - - - - 37 - - - - 8 - - 296

40-44 - - - 42 - - - 10 - - - 420

45-49 - - - 47 - - - 13 - - - 611

50-54 - - - 52 - - - 3 - - - 156

55-59 - - - 57 - - - 1 - - - 57

Mean of grouped data:

Sum of (F × X) / sum of F

1540 / 35 = 44
