The following set of raw data shows the lengths, in millimeters, measured to the nearest
mm, of 40 leaves taken from plants of a certain species. This is the table of frequency
distribution. Calculate the mean.

2. By Assumed Mean
In order to calculate the mean of grouped data by deviation, you need to:
Find the mid-point of each interval ( xi )
Find the assumed mean = A
Find the difference between A with xi , we call the deviation (= d i )
Multiply the frequency of each interval by its deviation ( f i .d i )
Find the sum of all the products f i .d i
Find the sum of all the frequencies
Divide the sum of the products f i .d i by the sum of the frequencies, then add it to
A.
Mean = x A

3. By Coding Method
In order to calculate the mean of grouped data by Coding Method, you need to:
Find the mid-point of each interval ( xi )
Find the assumed mean = A
Fill the u i with zero (=0) in the class of A , then fill the u i with -1, -2, -3, …to the
upper, 1, 2, 3, … to the below of the class of A .
Multiply he frequency of each interval by its deviation ( f i .u i )
Find the sum of all the products f i .u i
Find the sum of all the frequencies
Divide the sum of the products f i .u i by the sum of the frequencies, multiply it with
C , then add it to A .
Mean = x A
