The following table gives the life time of 200 bulbs. Calculate the mean life time of a bulb by step deviation method :
Life time in hrs No. of bulbs
400 - 499 24
500 - 599 47
600 - 699 39
700 - 799 42
800 - 899 34
900 - 999 14


Here , a=749.5 , h=100fi=200fiui=-143Mean , x=a+hfiuifi=749.5+100-143200=749.5-71.5=678.Mean life time of a bulb is 678 hours.
