Class mark = Lower limit + Upper limit2\dfrac{\text{Lower limit + Upper limit}}{2}

WeightNumber of pupils (f)Class mark (x)fx
50-531551.5772.50
53-561854.5981

TotalΣf = 100Σfx = 5831

By formula,

Mean = ΣfxΣf=5831100\dfrac{Σfx}{Σf} = \dfrac{5831}{100} = 58.31 kg.

Hence, the mean weight = 58.31 kg
