Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Age

(years)

Freq

(f)

Mid-value

(x)

fx \(d = (x - \bar{x})\) \(d^{2}\) \(fd^{2}\)
1 - 5 3 3 9 - 4.5 20.25 60.75
6 - 10 5 8 40 0.5 0.25 1.25
11 - 15 2 13 26 5.5 30.25 60.5
\(\sum =\) 10   75     122.5

\(Mean (\bar {x}) = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f} = \frac{75}{10} = 7.5\)

\(SD = \sqrt{\frac{\sum fd^{2}}{\sum f}}\)

= \(\sqrt{\frac{122.5}{10}}\)

= \(\sqrt{12.25} = 3.50\)
