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.
Scores F x
11-22 (33) 3 33/2= 16.5
23-34 (57) 5 57/2= 28.5
35-46 11 40.5
47-58 19 52.5
59-70 14 64.5
71-82 6 76.5
83-94 2 88.5
Step 2. Multiply each midpoint by its corresponding frequency. The products are shown in the 4 th column.
Scores f x fx
11-22 3 16.5 3*16.5= 49.5
23-34 5 28.5 5*28.5= 142.5

59-70 14 64.5 903
71-82 6 76.5 459
83-94 2 88.5 177
Step 3. Get the sum of the products in step 2.

Step 4. Divide the result in Step 3 by the sample size. The result is the mean of the distribution. Hence,

B. To compute for the median, we shall construct the less than cumulative frequency column. We can use
the existing table when we solved for the mean.

the distribution.
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.
