Activity # 7
Finding the Mean, Median and Mode from Grouped Data
Problem: Find the mean, mode and median of the following grouped data:
Class Classmark
Frequency (f) fx cum f
Intervals (x)
Solution:
n = 40 Σ (fx ) = 2124 i= 8
Mean,
= 2124 = 53.1
40
Where;
Lm =52
n=40
F= 18
i=8
fm=12
= 52 + (1/2*40-18) 8
12
= 52 + (20-18)8
12
=52 + (2)8
12
=52+16
12
=52 + 1.33
=53.33
