Use the frequency chart to calculate the mean for grouped data.
This process is most frequently used when the raw data is not
available.

(f∙Xm)n , where f is the frequency and
Xm is the midpoint
of the class.

Find the sample grouped mean for the
frequency chart. X= ________
Compare the sample means calculated
from the raw sample data and from the grouped data in the frequency
chart.
Note: The mean (is always / is not always) an
actual data value.
This process is most frequently used when the raw data is not
available.
