Statistics


STATISTICS
  1. Mean of Grouped Data
  2. Mode of Grouped Data
  3. Median of Grouped Data
  4. Graphical Representation of CF
  5. Miscellaneous Questions
1. Mean : The mean for grouped data can be found by :
(i) The direct method =
(ii) The assumed mean method
Where  a = Provisional mean
(iii) The step deviation method
2. Mode : The mode for the grouped data can be found by using the formula :
= lower limit of the modal class.
 = frequency of the modal class.
 = frequency of the preceding class of the modal class.
= frequency of the succeeding class of the modal class.
h = size of the class interval.
Modal class – class interval with highest frequency.
3. Median : Median of continuous series is:
(i)  term (if number of terms are odd)
(ii)  (if number of terms are even]
(iii) The median for the grouped data can be found by using the formula :
= lower limit of the median class.
n = number of observations.
Cf = cumulative frequency of class interval preceding the median class.
f = frequency of median class.
h = class size.
4.Empirical Formula : Mode = 3 median – 2 mean.
5.Cumulative frequency curve or an Ogive :
(i) Ogive is the graphical representation of the cumulative frequency distribution.
(ii) Less than type Ogive :
• Construct a cumulative frequency table.
• Mark the upper class limit on the x-axis.
(iii) More than type Ogive :
• Construct a frequency table.
• Mark the lower class limit on the x-axis.
(iv) To obtain the median of frequency distribution from the graph :
• Locate point of intersection of less than type Ogive and more than type Ogive :
Draw a perpendicular from this point on x-axis.
