2. Mean of Raw Data and Ungrouped Data

  • Mean of raw data is the sum of observations divided by their count.
  • For ungrouped frequency distribution, multiply each observation by its frequency.
  • Then divide the sum of fi xi by N, where N is the total frequency.

3. Mean of Grouped Data

  • Grouped data uses class intervals instead of separate values.
  • Class mark is the midpoint of a class interval.
  • The class mark is treated as the representative value for that class.

4. Median in Detail

  • Median is the middle observation after arranging data.
  • For odd n, the median is the ((n+1)/2)th observation.
  • For even n, the median is the mean of the n/2th and (n/2 + 1)th observations.
