1. Formula & Example





Formula
1. Mean `bar x = (sum fx)/n`
2. Median `M = L + (n/2 - cf)/f * c`
3. Mode `Z = L + ((f_1 - f_0) / (2*f_1 - f_0 - f_2)) * c`

Examples
1. Calculate Mean, Median, Mode from the following grouped data
ClassFrequency
2 - 43
4 - 64
6 - 82
8 - 101


Solution:
Class
`(1)`
Frequency `(f)`
`(2)`
Mid value `(x)`
`(3)`
`f*x`
`(4)=(2)xx(3)`
`cf`
`(6)`
2-43 3 `3=(2+4)/2` 9 `9=3xx3`
`(4)=(2)xx(3)`
 3 `3=0+3`
`(6)=`Previous `(6)+(2)`
4-64 5 `5=(4+6)/2` 20 `20=4xx5`
`(4)=(2)xx(3)`
 7 `7=3+4`
`(6)=`Previous `(6)+(2)`
6-82 7 `7=(6+8)/2` 14 `14=2xx7`
`(4)=(2)xx(3)`
 9 `9=7+2`
`(6)=`Previous `(6)+(2)`
8-101 9 `9=(8+10)/2` 9 `9=1xx9`
`(4)=(2)xx(3)`
 10 `10=9+1`
`(6)=`Previous `(6)+(2)`

--`n = 10`--`sum f*x=52`--


Mean `bar x = (sum fx)/n`

`=52/10`

`=5.2`



To find Median Class
= value of `(n/2)^(th)` observation

= value of `(10/2)^(th)` observation

= value of `5^(th)` observation

From the column of cumulative frequency `cf`, we find that the `5^(th)` observation lies in the class `4 - 6`.

`:.` The median class is `4 - 6`.

Now,
`:. L = `lower boundary point of median class `=4`

`:. n = `Total frequency `=10`

`:. cf = `Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class `=3`

`:. f = `Frequency of the median class `=4`

`:. c = `class length of median class `=2`

Median `M = L + (n/2 - cf)/f * c`

`=4 + (5 - 3)/4 * 2`

`=4 + (2)/4 * 2`

`=4 + 1`

`=5`



To find Mode Class
Here, maximum frequency is `4`.

`:.` The mode class is `4 - 6`.

`:. L = `lower boundary point of mode class `=4`

`:. f_1 = ` frequency of the mode class `=4`

`:. f_0 = ` frequency of the preceding class `=3`

`:. f_2 = ` frequency of the succedding class `=2`

`:. c = ` class length of mode class `=2`

`Z = L + ((f_1 - f_0) / (2*f_1 - f_0 - f_2)) * c`

`=4 + ((4 - 3)/(2*4 - 3 - 2)) * 2`

`=4 + (1/3) * 2`

`=4 + 0.6667`

`=4.6667`
2. Calculate Mean, Median, Mode from the following grouped data
XFrequency
01
15
210
36
43


Solution:
`x`
`(1)`
Frequency `(f)`
`(2)`
`f*x`
`(3)=(2)xx(1)`
`cf`
`(5)`
01 0 `0=1xx0`
`(3)=(2)xx(1)`
 1 `1=0+1`
`(5)=`Previous `(5)+(2)`
15 5 `5=5xx1`
`(3)=(2)xx(1)`
 6 `6=1+5`
`(5)=`Previous `(5)+(2)`
210 20 `20=10xx2`
`(3)=(2)xx(1)`
 16 `16=6+10`
`(5)=`Previous `(5)+(2)`
36 18 `18=6xx3`
`(3)=(2)xx(1)`
 22 `22=16+6`
`(5)=`Previous `(5)+(2)`
43 12 `12=3xx4`
`(3)=(2)xx(1)`
 25 `25=22+3`
`(5)=`Previous `(5)+(2)`
------------
`n=25``sum f*x=55`--


Mean `bar x = (sum fx)/n`

`=55/25`

`=2.2`



Median :
M = value of `(n/2)^(th)` observation

= value of `(25/2)^(th)` observation

= value of `12^(th)` observation

From the column of cumulative frequency `cf`, we find that the `12^(th)` observation is `2`.

Hence, the median of the data is `2`.



Mode :
the frequency of observation `2` is maximum (`10`)

`:. Z = 2`
