# Age Distribution and Approximate Mean Calculation

This page provides an example of how to approximate the mean of a frequency distribution for the ages of the residents of a town. The data is presented in a table format that categorizes the population into various age groups, alongside their corresponding frequencies.

## Age Frequency Distribution Table

- **Age (Years) | Frequency**
  - 0-9  | 35
  - 10-19 | 33
  - 20-29 | 13
  - 30-39 | 23
  - 40-49 | 24
  - 50-59 | 40
  - 60-69 | 32
  - 70-79 | 14
  - 80-89 | 4

### Task

Calculate the approximate mean age of the residents by using the given frequency distribution.

**Hint:** For each age group, use the midpoint of the age range and multiply it by the frequency. Sum all these products and divide by the total number of residents.

### Output

The approximate mean age is __ years.  
*(Round to one decimal place as needed.)*
