Mean of ungrouped data =
𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠

Mean of grouped data:

❖ Direct method:

∑fi xi
x̅ =
∑fi
❖ Assumed mean method:

∑fi di
x̅ = a +
∑fi

where a = assumed mean,

∑fi = total frequency
and di = xi – a

Mode of grouped data:

𝑓1 −𝑓0
Mode = l + ×h
2𝑓1 −𝑓0 −𝑓2

where l = lower limit of modal class,

h = size of the class interval,
f 1 = frequency of the modal class,
f 0 = frequency of the class preceding the modal class,
f 2 = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
Median of grouped data:

𝑛
−𝑐 𝑓
Median = l+ 2
×ℎ
𝑓

l = lower limit of the median class

n = number of observations
c f = cumulative frequency of class preceding the median class
f = frequency of the median class
h = class size

Empirical relation among the three measures of central

tendency:
