Expert Solution
Step 1

(i)

To find mean:

Level of hostility Number of professionals, fi Mid value, xi fixi
0 to 1 4 0.5 2
2 to 3 11 2.5 27.5
4 to 5 8 4.5 36
6 to 7 20 6.5 130
8 to 9 25 8.5 212.5
10 to 11 12 10.5 126
Total  80   534

x=i=1nfixii=1nfi=6.675

Interpretation: Here, the mean value, 6.675 describes the center of the data.
