Detailed Solution & Explanation

In grouped frequency distributions, the range of data is divided into intervals called classes. Each class is defined by a lower limit and an upper limit. The mid-value (or midpoint) of a class interval is calculated by taking the arithmetic mean of its lower and upper limits: Mid-value=Lower Limit+Upper Limit2\text{Mid-value} = \frac{\text{Lower Limit} + \text{Upper Limit}}{2} In statistical terminology, this mid-value is also called the **Class mark**. It represents the central value of the class and is used as the single representative value for all observations falling within that class when calculating statistical measures like the mean, variance, or when plotting frequency polygons. This matches Option C. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
