Grouped Data Calculation PDF

1) The document discusses calculating mean, median, mode, variance and standard deviation from grouped data. It provides examples of calculating these metrics from frequency tables of grouped data. 2) Formulas are given for calculating mean, median, mode, variance and standard deviation from grouped data. This involves calculating midpoints and cumulative frequencies. 3) Steps are outlined for calculating the median, quartiles, interquartile range and mode from grouped data tables and histograms.

Mean Grouped Data


Example: The following table gives the frequency distribution of the number
of orders received each day during the past 50 days at the office of a mail-order
company. Calculate the mean.

Median and Interquartile Range


Grouped Data
Step 1: Construct the cumulative frequency distribution.
Step 2: Decide the class that contain the median.
Class Median is the first class with the value of cumulative
frequency equal at least n/2.
Step 3: Find the median by using the following formula:
M e d ia n = L m

2 - F
+
i
f
m

Where:
n = the total frequency
F = the cumulative frequency before class median
f = the frequency of the class median
m

i = the class width


Lm = the lower boundary of the class median

Example: Based on the grouped data below, find the median:


Time to travel to work
1 10
11 20
21 30
31 40
41 50

Solution:
1st Step: Construct the cumulative frequency distribution
Time to travel
to work
1 10
11 20
21 30
31 40
41 50

So,

Thus, 25 persons take less than 24 minutes to travel to work and another 25 persons
take more than 24 minutes to travel to work.

Quartiles
Using the same method of calculation as in the Median,
we can get Q1 and Q3 equation as follows:
n
4-F
Q1 = LQ1 +
f Q1

3n
4 -F
Q3 = LQ3 +
f Q3

Example: Based on the grouped data below, find the Interquartile Range

Interquartile Range
IQR = Q3 Q1

IQR = Q3 Q1
calculate the IQ
IQR = Q3 Q1 = 34.3889 13.7143 = 20.6746

Mode Grouped Data


Mode
Mode is the value that has the highest frequency in a data set.
For grouped data, class mode (or, modal class) is the class with the highest frequency.
To find mode for grouped data, use the following formula:

1
M o d e = Lmo +
i

1
2

Where:
i is the class width
1 is the difference between the frequency of class mode and the frequency

of the class after the class mode


2 is the difference between the frequency of class mode

and the frequency of the class before the class mode


Lmo is the lower boundary of class mode

Calculation of Grouped Data - Mode


Example: Based on the grouped data below, find the mode
Time to travel to work

Solution:
Based on the table,
Lmo = 10.5, 1 = (14 8) = 6, 2 = (14 12) = 2 and

i = 10
6
M o d e = 1 0 .5 +
1 0 = 1 7 .5

2

Mode can also be obtained from a histogram.


Step 1: Identify the modal class and the bar representing it
Step 2: Draw two cross lines as shown in the diagram.
Step 3: Drop a perpendicular from the intersection of the two lines
until it touch the horizontal axis.
Step 4: Read the mode from the horizontal axis

Thus, the standard deviation of the number of orders received at


the office of this mail-order company during the past 50 days is 2.75.
