You’ll learn

  • A frequency table lists each value (or interval) and how many times it happened (the frequency)
  • Mid-interval value = the middle of an interval, e.g. 0-10 has a mid-interval value of 5. Use them to estimate the mean of grouped data
  • Mean from a table = add up (frequency x value), then divide by the total number of people

Formula used

x̄ ≈ (Σ (mid-interval × f))/(Σ f)
