Solution

Let us take the assumed mean to be A=150.

Interval xi fidi=xi−A fidi
100−120 11020 −40 −800
120−14013045−20−900
140−1601502200
160−1801700920180
180−2001900440160
Total ∑fi = 100 ∑fidi =−1360
Now the actual mean by the assumed mean method is given by,

¯¯¯x= A+∑fidi∑fi
where ¯¯¯x is the actual mean and A is the assumed mean.

Substituting the values into the formula, we get:

¯¯¯x=150+(−1360)100

That gives, ¯¯¯x=136.4. The mean daily commission is Rs136.4
