Mean From Grouped Data

The document discusses calculating the mean of grouped data. It provides examples of calculating the mean from frequency tables that group data into class intervals. The steps are: [1] Find the midpoint of each class interval, [2] Multiply the frequency by the midpoint to get the frequency-midpoint product (fXm) for each class, [3] Sum all the fXm values, and [4] Divide the total fXm by the total frequency to get the mean. For example, the mean of the midyear test scores was calculated to be 30.

MEAN

The mean is the average or a calculated central


value of a set of numbers that is used to
measure the central tendency of the data.
