Data
• Facts/figures, numerical or otherwise, collected for a definite purpose
are called data.
Frequency
• The number of times a particular instance occurs is called frequency in
statistics.
Ungrouped data
• The representative value of a data set, generally the central value or the most
occurring value that gives a general idea of the whole data set is called Measure of
Central Tendency.
Median:
The median is the middle value of a data set, which separates the highest
and values equally. It is calculated by arranging the data set in order from
lowest to highest and finding the value in the exact middle.
Mean
• Mean is denoted by
MEAN OF UNGROUPED DATA
If
x1, x2,. . ., xn are observations with respective frequencies f1, f2, . . ., fn, then t
his means observation x1 occurs f1 times, x2 occurs f2 times, and so on.
Now, the sum of the values of all the observations =f1x1 +f2x2 + . . . +fnxn, an
d the number of observations = f1 + f2 + . . . + fn .
Step 4: Determine how ′a′ deviates from each of the xi this is the difference di between a and each of
the xi’s, which is di=xi−a
Step 5:For each class, tabulate the product of the deviation (di) and the associated frequency (fi)
Determine their total (∑xidi).
Step 6: Calculate the mean using the formula
Where a= assumed mean
fi= frequency of class
di= xi- a
*The value of the mean obtained does not depend on the choice of ‘a ’.
Step-deviation method
This method is used when the data is vey large
Step 2: Calculate the class mark by dividing the sum of upper and lower class limits by 2.
Step 3: choose one among the xi’s as the assumed mean, and denote it by ‘a ’.
we may take ‘a ’ to be that xi which lies in the centre of x1 , x2, . . ., xn
Step 4: Determine how ′a′ deviates from each of the xi this is the difference di between a and each of
the xi’s, which is di=xi−a
Step 5: Find ui =(xi −a )/h, where h is the class size.
Step 6: Apply the formula to find the mean
The number of wickets taken by the bowler in the maximum number (i.e., 3) of
matches. So, the mode of this data is 2.
Mode of grouped data
In a grouped frequency distribution, it is not possible to determine the mode by looking at
the frequencies.
Here, we can only locate a class with the maximum frequency, called the modal class
The mode is a value inside the modal class, and is given by the formula:
Median of Ungrouped Data
Median is a measure of central tendency which gives the value of the middle-most observation in the data.
For finding the median of ungrouped data, we first arrange the data values of the observations in ascending
order.
here n =100 which is even, then the median will be the average of the th and
observations.
Now we add another column depicting this information to the frequency table above and
name it as cumulative frequency column.
From the table above, we see that: 50th observaton is 28 and the 51st observation is 29
Median of Grouped Data
Consider a grouped frequency distribution of marks obtained, out of 100, by 53
students, in a certain examination, as follows:
Here 10, 20, 30, . . . 100, are the upper limits of the respective class
intervals.
Cumulative frequency distribution of the more than
type.
Here 0, 10, 20, . . ., 90 give the lower limits of the respective class
intervals.
Steps to Calculate Median of Grouped Data
d the cumulative frequencies of all the classes which is the sum of frequencies of clas
ken in order.
find the total number of observations which is n
Locate the class whose cumulative frequency is greater than (and nearest
to) .This is the MEDIAN CLASS
After finding the median class, we use the following formula for calculating
the median.
