Concept Used:

Arithmetic Mean = ∑(fx)/n

Calculations:

Arithmetic mean = \(\frac{0\times 3+1\times 2+ 2 \times 2+3\times 4+ 4 \times 6+ 5\times 7+ 6\times 7+ 7\times5+8\times 3+ 9\times 4+ 10\times 2}{3+2+2+4+6+7+7+5+3+4+2}\)

Arithmetic mean = \(\frac{234}{45}=5.2\)

∴ The arithmetic mean of the given data is 5.2
