(N/A) $1$. Mean: $\sum f_i = 100$. Midpoints $(x_i)$: $5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65$. $\sum f_i x_i = (5 \times 5) + (12 \times 15) + (18 \times 25) + (40 \times 35) + (15 \times 45) + (7 \times 55) + (3 \times 65) = 25 + 180 + 450 + 1400 + 675 + 385 + 195 = 3310$. Mean $= \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} = \frac{3310}{100} = 33.1$.
$2$. Median: $N=100, N/2 = 50$. Cumulative frequencies: $5, 17, 35, 75, 90, 97, 100$. Median class is $30-40$. $l=30, cf=35, f=40, h=10$. Median $= l + \left( \frac{N/2 - cf}{f} \right) \times h = 30 + \left( \frac{50 - 35}{40} \right) \times 10 = 30 + \left( \frac{15}{4} \right) = 30 + 3.75 = 33.75$.
$3$. Mode: Modal class is $30-40$ (highest frequency $40$). $l=30, f_1=40, f_0=18, f_2=15, h=10$. Mode $= l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h = 30 + \left( \frac{40 - 18}{2(40) - 18 - 15} \right) \times 10 = 30 + \left( \frac{22}{80 - 33} \right) \times 10 = 30 + \left( \frac{220}{47} \right) \approx 30 + 4.68 = 34.68$.
