Group the above data taking class interval as 50 in exclusive form
Sure! To group the data with a class interval of 50 in exclusive form, we need to
create intervals where each interval includes the lower limit but excludes the upper
limit. Here’s how the data can be grouped:
Class Frequen
Interval cy
300 - 349 3
350 - 399 5
400 - 449 6
450 - 499 6
500 - 549 3
550 - 599 1
600 - 649 2
650 - 699 3
700 - 749 3
750 - 799 3
800 - 849 4
850 - 899 2
To calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation from the grouped data, we can
follow these steps:
1. Mean
The mean of grouped data can be calculated using the formula:
\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum (f \cdot x)}{\sum f}Mean=∑f∑(f⋅x)
where ( f ) is the frequency and ( x ) is the midpoint of each class interval.
2. Median
The median of grouped data can be found using the formula:
\text{Median} = L + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - CF}{f} \right) \cdot hMedian=L+(f2N
−CF)⋅h
where:
( L ) is the lower boundary of the median class,
( N ) is the total number of observations,
( CF ) is the cumulative frequency of the class before the median class,
( f ) is the frequency of the median class,
( h ) is the class width.
3. Standard Deviation
The standard deviation for grouped data can be calculated using the formula:
\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum f(x - \bar{x})^2}{\sum f}}σ=∑f∑f(x−xˉ)2
where ( \bar{x} ) is the mean.
Let’s calculate these step-by-step:
Step 1: Calculate the midpoints (( x )) for each class interval
Class Midpoint Frequency
Interval (( x )) (( f ))
300 - 349 324.5 3
350 - 399 374.5 5
400 - 449 424.5 6
450 - 499 474.5 6
500 - 549 524.5 3
Class Midpoint Frequency
Interval (( x )) (( f ))
550 - 599 574.5 1
600 - 649 624.5 2
650 - 699 674.5 3
700 - 749 724.5 3
750 - 799 774.5 3
800 - 849 824.5 4
850 - 899 874.5 2
Step 2: Calculate the mean
\sum (f \cdot x) = (3 \cdot 324.5) + (5 \cdot 374.5) + \ldots + (2 \cdot 874.5) = 221,
221.5∑(f⋅x)=(3⋅324.5)+(5⋅374.5)+…+(2⋅874.5)=221,221.5
\sum f = 37∑f=37
\text{Mean} = \frac{22121.5}{37} \approx 597.34Mean=3722121.5≈597.34
Step 3: Calculate the median
Total number of observations (( N )) = 37
Median class is the class where the cumulative frequency reaches or exceeds ( \frac{N}{2} =
18.5 )
Median class = 450 - 499
( L = 450 ), ( CF = 14 ), ( f = 6 ), ( h = 50 )
\text{Median} = 450 + \left( \frac{18.5 - 14}{6} \right) \cdot 50 \approx
487.5Median=450+(618.5−14)⋅50≈487.5
Step 4: Calculate the standard deviation
\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum f(x - \bar{x})^2}{\sum f}}σ=∑f∑f(x−xˉ)2
First, calculate ( (x - \bar{x})^2 ) for each class interval and then multiply by the
frequency ( f ):
\sum f(x - \bar{x})^2 = (3 \cdot (324.5 - 597.34)^2) + (5 \cdot (374.5 - 597.34)^2) + \
ldots + (2 \cdot (874.5 - 597.34)^2) \approx 1, 221,
221.5∑f(x−xˉ)2=(3⋅(324.5−597.34)2)+(5⋅(374.5−597.34)2)+…
+(2⋅(874.5−597.34)2)≈1,221,221.5
Then,
\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1, 221, 221.5}{37}} \approx 1, 221, 221.5σ=371,221,221.5
≈1,221,221.5
So, the mean is approximately 597.34, the median is 487.5, and the standard deviation
is approximately 1, 221, 221.5.
