Arithmetic Mean

This document discusses different methods to calculate arithmetic mean or simple mean: 1. The arithmetic mean is calculated by dividing the sum of all observations by their total number. 2. The coding method calculates mean by subtracting each value from an assumed mean and summing the differences. 3. The scaling method calculates mean by subtracting each value from an assumed mean, dividing the differences by a scaling factor, summing the results and adding to the assumed mean. 4. Weighted mean is calculated by multiplying each value by its corresponding weight, summing the products and dividing by the total of the weights. Examples demonstrate calculating mean from raw data, grouped data and using weights.

Arithmetic Mean
Arithmetic mea is a value obtained by dividing
the sum of all the observations by their number.
Or
If X1, X2, X3, X4 . . . . . . . Xn are n observation of a
variable X, then the arithmetic mean, denoted
by x is defined as
=
Where i= 1, 2 ,3,……….n

1. Coding method of calculating Mean

Where D = X-a Also a is know as assumed mean

2. Scaling Method of calculating mean


h∑ 𝑈
𝑋 =a+
𝑛 Where U = X-a/h

Also a is know as assumed mean and h is the unit of measurement.

3. Weighted Arithmetic Mean

X1 W1 + X 2 W 2+ X3 W 3+ X 4 W 4 + . . . . . . + XnW 𝑛 ∑ 𝑋𝑖𝑊𝑖


𝑋= =
W 1+ W 2+ W 3 +W 4 + . . . . . . + W 𝑛 ∑ 𝑊𝑖
