Statistics Worksheet - Mean

The document provides examples of calculating the mean (average) using different statistical methods: 1. The direct method is used to calculate the mean of a frequency distribution with class intervals and frequencies given. 2. The short cut method calculates the mean without calculating the individual class marks and frequencies. 3. Step deviation method calculates the mean by grouping the data into class intervals and using the deviation of the class marks from the mid-point. 4. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating the mean using direct, short cut and step deviation methods on data sets with class intervals and frequencies.
