### Grouped Data Analysis: Mean, Modal Class, Variance, and Standard Deviation

We are given the following grouped data and are required to determine the mean, modal class, variance, and standard deviation.

#### Data Table:
| Class Limit | Frequency (f) |
|-------------|---------------|
| 22 - 27     | 16            |
| 28 - 33     | 2             |
| 34 - 39     | 2             |
| 40 - 45     | 3             |
| 46 - 51     | 1             |

### Steps for Calculating Descriptive Statistics:
#### 1. **Mean (Average):**
For grouped data, the mean can be estimated using the formula:
\[ \bar{X} = \frac{\sum (f \cdot x)}{\sum f} \]
Where \(x\) is the midpoint of each class interval.

#### 2. **Modal Class:**
The modal class is the class interval with the highest frequency.

#### 3. **Variance and Standard Deviation:**
Variance for grouped data is calculated by:
\[ \sigma^2 = \frac{\sum f \cdot (x - \bar{X})^2}{\sum f} \]
Standard deviation is the square root of variance:
\[ \sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2} \]

### Detailed Breakdown:
#### Calculate Midpoints:
- \(22 - 27\): Midpoint \( x = \frac{22 + 27}{2} = 24.5\)
- \(28 - 33\): Midpoint \( x = \frac{28 + 33}{2} = 30.5\)
- \(34 - 39\): Midpoint \( x = \frac{34 + 39}{2} = 36.5\)
- \(40 - 45\): Midpoint \( x = \frac{40 + 45}{2} = 42.5\)
- \(46 - 51\): Midpoint \( x = \frac{46 + 51}{2} = 48.5\)

#### Calculate Mean:
\[ \bar{X} = \frac{(24.5 \cdot 16) + (30.5 \cdot 2) + (36.5 \cdot 2) + (42.5 \cdot 3)
