The Mean of Grouped Data Using the Class Marks
 Solve Mean of Grouped Data Using the Class Marks

When the number of items in a set of data is too big, items are grouped for convenience. The manner of
computing for the mean of grouped data is given by the formula:

The Greek symbol ∑ (sigma) is the mathematical symbol for summation. This means that all items having this
symbol are to be added. Thus, the symbol ∑f means the sum of all frequencies, and ∑fX means the sum of all
the products of the frequency and the corresponding class mark.

 The frequency distribution for the data is given below. The columns X and fX are added.

The Mean of Grouped Data Using the Coded Deviation

An alternative formula for computing the mean of grouped data makes use of coded deviation:

where: A.M. - is the assumed mean

f - is the frequency of each class
d - is the coded deviation from A.M.
i - is the class interval
Any class mark can be considered as assumed mean. But it is convenient to choose the class mark
with the highest frequency. The class chosen to contain A.M. is given a 0 deviation. Subsequently,
consecutive positive integers are assigned to the classes upward and negative integers to the classes
downward.
