 Student notes:
When analyzing data, it is important to understand measures of central tendency, such as mean, median, and mode. These
measures provide valuable insight into the distribution of the data and can help summarize and interpret large sets of information.

Mean is a commonly used measure of central tendency that represents the average value of a set of data. To calculate the mean of
grouped data, you first need to determine the midpoint of each class interval. The midpoint is the average of the lower and upper
limits of a class interval. Once you have the midpoints, you multiply each midpoint by its corresponding frequency, sum up these
values, and divide by the total frequency to get the mean.

For example, let's consider the following grouped data:

| Class Interval | Frequency |

|---------------|----------|
| 10-20 |5 |
| 20-30 |8 |
| 30-40 | 12 |
| 40-50 |6 |
| 50-60 |9 |

To calculate the mean, we first find the midpoints of each class interval:

- Midpoint of 10-20: (10 + 20) / 2 = 15

- Midpoint of 20-30: (20 + 30) / 2 = 25
- Midpoint of 30-40: (30 + 40) / 2 = 35
- Midpoint of 40-50: (40 + 50) / 2 = 45
- Midpoint of 50-60: (50 + 60) / 2 = 55

Next, we multiply each midpoint by its corresponding frequency and sum up the values:

(15 * 5) + (25 * 8) + (35 * 12) + (45 * 6) + (55 * 9) = 1355

Finally, we divide the sum by the total frequency (5 + 8 + 12 + 6 + 9 = 40) to get the mean:

1355 / 40 = 33.875

Therefore, the mean of the grouped data is 33.875.

Median is another measure of central tendency that represents the middle value of a data set when arranged in ascending order. To
find the median of grouped data, you first need to determine the cumulative frequency and find the median class, which is the
class interval that contains the middle value. Once you have the median class, you can use the following formula to calculate the
median:

Median = L + ((n/2 - F) / f) * w

Where:
L = Lower limit of the median class
n = Total frequency
F = Cumulative frequency of the class before the median class
f = Frequency of the median class
w = Width of the class interval

For example, let's consider the same grouped data as before:

| Class Interval | Frequency |

|---------------|----------|
| 10-20 |5 |
| 20-30 |8 |
| 30-40 | 12 |
| 40-50 |6 |
| 50-60 |9 |
First, we calculate the cumulative frequency:

| Class Interval | Frequency | Cumulative Frequency |

|---------------|----------|----------------------|
| 10-20 |5 |5 |
| 20-30 |8 | 13 |
| 30-40 | 12 | 25 |
| 40-50 |6 | 31 |
| 50-60 |9 | 40 |

The median class is the one that contains the middle value, which in this case is the 20th value. Since the cumulative frequency
before the median class is 13, the median class is 30-40.

Using the formula:

L = 30 (lower limit of the median class)

n = 40 (total frequency)
F = 13 (cumulative frequency of the class before the median class)
f = 12 (frequency of the median class)
w = 10 (width of the class interval)

Median = 30 + ((20 - 13) / 12) * 10

Median = 30 + (7 / 12) * 10
Median = 30 + 5.83
Median = 35.83

Therefore, the median of the grouped data is 35.83.

Mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. In grouped data, the modal class is the class interval with the highest
frequency. The mode can be estimated by finding the class interval with the highest frequency and using the following formula:
