Grouped data is data that is organised into groups.

Measures of central tendency


A set of data can be compared with another set of data by making use of the following
measures of central tendency:

 Mean…
The average of a numerical set of data.

BUT…
With grouped data, we make use of the estimated mean.
- Firstly, you have to calculate the midpoint of each class interval.
- Secondly, you have to multiply each frequency with each calculated midpoint
- Thirdly, add up the total of the frequency and the total of 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐×𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀

 Median class…
The middle position of the set of data. It is important that the data is arranged in
ascending order. Half of the data will lie at position 10 and 11
10+11
∴ 2 = 10,5. 10,5 lies in the class interval 30 ≤ 𝑥𝑥 < 40, which has a midpoint of
34,5.
 Modal class…
The class with the greatest frequency in the set of data. Thus, it will be the class
interval with the most represented data, 30 ≤ 𝑥𝑥 < 40.

in a month.
