Mean, Median and Mode of Grouped Data

The document provides instructions to calculate the mean, median, and mode of a frequency distribution. It summarizes the steps to find: - The mean is 53, found by summing the product of each class midpoint and frequency, and dividing by the total sample size. - The median is 53.45, located between classes 35-46 and 47-58 by constructing a cumulative frequency table and using the class midpoint formula. - The modal class is 47-58 with a frequency of 19, and the mode is calculated to be 53.88 using the modal class interval formula.

A. To be able to compute the value of the mean, we shall follow the steps discussed earlier.
Step 1. Get midpoint of each class. The midpoints are shown in the 3 rd column.

the existing table when we solved for the mean.

To get the value of d 1, and d 2, find the differences of the frequency of the modal to the frequency before
and to the frequency after the modal class.
