STATISTICS
Arithmetic Mean or Mean Average
The arithmetic mean of a set of observations is obtained by dividing
the sum of the values of all observations by the total number of
observations.
Thus, the mean of n observations is defined as
Mean
Method of Calculating Mean of Grouped Data
Direct Method:

Assumed Mean Method

In this method, first of all, one among ‘s is chosen as the assumed
mean denoted by ‘’. After that, the difference between and each of
the ’s. i.e, is calculated.
Then, arithmetic mean is given by

Where,
Step Deviation Method

where
Mode of Ungrouped Data
Mode The data which is repeated maximum numbers of times
Mode of Grouped Data with Class Interval
In grouped data, mode is a value that lies in the modal class and it is given by
the formula.

Where,
lower limit of the modal class
size of the class intervals (assuming all class sizes to be equal)
frequency of the modal class
frequency of the class preceding the modal class
frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
Median of Ungrouped Data
For finding the median of ungrouped data, we first arrange the data
in ascending order.
(i) If is odd,
observation
(ii) If is even,
observation
Median of Grouped Data
To find the median class, we located the class whose cumulative frequency is .
Median of a grouped or continuous frequency distribution

Where,
lower limit of the median class
number of observations (Sum of frequency)
frequency of the median class
size of the median class (assuming class size to be equal)
cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class
