EXERCISES ON MEAN ,MEDIAN and STANDARD DEVIATION

Answer the 2 problems based from the previous discussion and compute for the Mean, Median and
Standard Deviation given the Class Interval and the Frequency.

1. Total circulating albumin in gm for 30 males, age 20-29 years

Circulating Frequency Cumulativ Midpoint 𝑓1𝑋1 2

m-𝑥 𝑓(𝑚 − 𝑥)
albumin in (f) e (m)
gm (CI) Frequency

100-109 2 2 104.5 209 -25.33 1283.22

110-119 6 8 114.5 687 -15.33 1410.05

120-129 6 14 124.5 747 -5.33 170.45

130-139 7 21 134.5 941.5 4.67 152.66

140-149 8 29 144.5 1156 14.67 1721.67

150-159 1 30 154.5 154.5 24.67 608.61

TOTAL 30 3895 5346.66

MEAN:

∑ 𝑓1𝑋1 / 𝑛 = 3985 / 30

𝑥 = 129.83

MEADIAN: 130.928 or 130.93

STANDARD DEVIATION:

2
S= ∑ 𝑓(𝑚 − 𝑥) /𝑛 − 1

= 5346. 66 / 30 − 1

S = 13.58
2. blood pressure levels of 60 first-year male medical students (in mmHG)

150-159 1 60 154.5 154.5 31.33 981.57

TOTAL 60 7390 10293.33

MEAN:

∑ 𝑓1𝑋1 / 𝑛 =7390 / 60

𝑥 = 123.166 or 123.17

MEDIAN: 122.625 or 122.63

STANDARD DEVIATION:

2
S= ∑ 𝑓(𝑚 − 𝑥) /𝑛 − 1

= 10293. 33 / 60 − 1

S = 13.208 or 13.21
