Unit 3 - Activity 13 - Excel Standard Deviation With Grouped Data Worksheet

The document provides steps to calculate the mean and standard deviation of grouped data. It involves finding the midpoints of each score interval, multiplying the midpoints by their frequencies, calculating the mean, subtracting the midpoints from the mean, squaring the differences, multiplying the squared differences by their frequencies, and taking the square root of the sum of the products divided by the total frequencies to find the population standard deviation. Worked examples are provided to demonstrate the process.

Standard Deviation on Grouped Data

Finding the mean and standard deviation for marks in a class.

Step 1) Find the midpoints of the scores by using your own calculator. THIS SHOULD BE THE ONLY STEP WHERE YOU USE A CA

Step 2) Use your Cell reference (for example, A16 or B22) to multiply Frequency and Midpoint in D26.
Copy your formula to the other cells in column D.

Step 3) Find the sum of column D.

Step 4) Find the mean of the scores by dividing the sum of column D by the sum of the Frequencies.

Step 5) Find the midpoint subtracted by µ and enter it in F26


This part is tricky. You want to keep using J11 and not have the formula shift to a different cell, so when you enter i

Step 6) Square the cells in E using ^2. For example squaring cell G10 would be G10^2

Step 7) Multiply column F by column B for column G.

Step 8) Find the population standard deviation by square rooting the sum of fi(mi - µ)^2 divided by the sum of the frequencies
The square root function in excel is SQRT(whatever you are square rooting)

Score (%) Frequency (fi) Midpoint (mi) Frequency X Midpoint mi- µ (mi - µ)^2
34.5-39.5 1
39.5-44.5 1
44.5-49.5 0
