Overview

Statistics is the branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of numerical data. In this chapter, we learn about measures of central tendency for grouped data, including mean, median, and mode. We also explore graphical representatio

Key Concepts

The mean can be calculated using

The mean can be calculated using three methods: (1) Direct Method: x̄ = Σfixi/Σfi (2) Assumed Mean Method: x̄ = a + Σfidi/Σfi, where di = xi - a (3) S

Mode is the value that occurs

Mode is the value that occurs most frequently. For grouped data: Mode = l + [(f1 - f0)/(2f1 - f0 - f2)] × h, where l = lower boundary of modal class,

Median is the middle value

Median is the middle value that divides the data into two equal parts. Formula: Median = l + [(n/2 - cf)/f] × h, where l = lower boundary of median cl

Two types

Two types: (1) Less than type - shows number of observations less than upper boundary of each class (2) More than type - shows number of observations

Cumulative frequency curves plotted on graph

Cumulative frequency curves plotted on graph paper. Less than ogive uses upper boundaries on x-axis, more than ogive uses lower boundaries. The inters
