Class 8 Math Worksheet 15-C

This document provides instructions and examples for calculating the mean of grouped data from frequency distributions. It includes 3 practice questions that involve calculating the mean amount of money spent, mean weekly salary, and mean time taken to cycle between parks using frequency tables. Students are directed to an external resource to learn how to calculate the mean from grouped data and given additional practice problems to reinforce their understanding.

Worksheet # 15-C

Student’s Name: _________ Date: _

Objective:
By completing this worksheet, you will be able to:

 calculate the mean for grouped data.

 Mean, median and mode are known as averages in Statistics. They are indicative of
the central tendency or center of a set of
data.

 Mean for ungrouped data is calculated by

𝒔𝒖𝒎 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒂 𝚺𝑿
=
𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒂 𝒏

 For a set of data 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 , 𝑥3,………,𝑥𝑛 , with the corresponding frequencies 𝑓1, 𝑓2 , 𝑓3,…… 𝑓𝑛
is usually displayed in the form of a frequency table:
𝒙 𝑥1 𝑥2 𝑥3 …. 𝑥𝑛
The mean of the distribution is given
𝒇 𝑓1 𝑓2 𝑓3 …. 𝑓𝑛
by:
𝑓1 𝑥1 + 𝑓2 𝑥2 +𝑓3 𝑥3 +⋯+𝑓𝑛 𝑥𝑛
Mean =
𝑓1 +𝑓2 +𝑓3+⋯….+𝑓𝑛

If we write the sum of 𝑓𝑥 as Σ𝑓𝑥 and the sum of 𝑓 as Σ𝑓, then we have
Σ𝑓𝑥
𝑥̅ =
Σ𝑓

Q1. The amount of money spent by the visitors at a carnival was recorded.
Amount Spent ($) 40 60 80 100 160 200
Number of visitors 12 32 54 68 18 16
Find the mean amount of money spent by the visitors at the carnival.

Amount Number of 𝒇𝑿 Working:

Spent ($) visitors
40 12
60 32
80 54
100 68
160 18
200 16
Σ𝑓 = Σ𝑓𝑋 =

Q2. The weekly salaries of the employees in a company are recorded. Find the mean
weekly salary of the employees.
Weekly Salary ($) Number of employees
40 12 Working:

60 32
80 54
100 68
160 18
200 16
Q3. The time taken, in minutes, for a group of teenagers to cycle between two parks
is recorded.
Time Taken ( x minutes) Number of teenagers
15 < 𝑥 ≤ 20 5
20 < 𝑥 ≤ 25 10
25 < 𝑥 ≤ 30 20
30 < 𝑥 ≤ 35 15
35 < 𝑥 ≤ 40 18

Calculate an estimate for the mean time taken by the teenagers to cycle between the
two parks. Mid-value(X) is calculated by
𝑳𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕+𝑼𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕
𝟐

Time Taken 𝒇 Mid-value (X) 𝒇𝑿

( x minutes)
15 < 𝑥 ≤ 20 5 15 + 20
= 17.5

20 < 𝑥 ≤ 25 10
25 < 𝑥 ≤ 30 20
30 < 𝑥 ≤ 35 15
35 < 𝑥 ≤ 40 18
