: 6.2 Mode and Mean of Grouped Data

Learning Objective

: Understand and use the concept of mode and mean of grouped data.

Learning Outcomes

: (i) Determine the modal class from the frequency table of grouped data.
(ii) Calculate the midpoint of a class.
(iii) Verify the formula for the mean of grouped data.
(iv) Calculate the mean from the frequency table of grouped data.
