\[85 - 89\]	\[2\]	\[44\]	\[87\]	\[174\]	\[69\]	\[18\]	\[324\]	\[648\]	\[18\]	\[36\]
\[90 - 94\]	\[1\]	\[45\]	\[92\]	\[92\]	\[69\]	\[23\]	\[529\]	\[529\]	\[23\]	\[23\]

\(Mean,\ \overline{X} = \frac{\sum_{}^{}{Xf}}{\sum_{}^{}f} = \ \frac{3,086}{45} = 68.58 \approx 69\)
\(\frac{n + 1}{2} = \ \frac{45 + 1}{2} = \frac{46}{2} = 23\)

This means the median is 23^rd item in the fourth class (\(65 - 69\)), so we take the calculate the median for this grouped data as \(l_{m} + {(\frac{\frac{\sum_{}^{}f}{2} - {cf}_{cb}}{f_{m}})}^{c}\)

\[l_{m} = 64.5\]

\[\sum_{}^{}f = 45\]

\[{cf}_{cb}\ = 16\]

\[f_{m} = 10\]

\[c = 5\]

\[median = l_{m} + (\frac{\frac{\sum_{}^{}f}{2} - {cf}_{cb}}{f_{m}})c\]

\[= 64.5 + \left( \frac{\frac{45}{2} - 16}{10} \right) \times 5 = \ 67.75\]

The mode is the fourth class \(65 - 69\) with frequency of \(10\)
mean absolute deviation, \(MD = \frac{\sum_{}^{}{f|d|}}{\sum_{}^{}f} = \frac{354}{45} = 7.87\)
\(standard\ deviation,\ \sigma = \ \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{}^{}{f{(X - \overline{X})}^{2}}}{\sum_{}^{}f}} = \sqrt{\frac{4150}{45}} = \sqrt{92.22} = 9.603\)
\(variance,\ \sigma^{2} = {9.603}^{2} = 92.22\)
