In class 10, the chapter statistics mostly deals with finding the mean median and standard deviation of grouped data.
(I) The mean of the grouped data can be found by 3 methods.
- Direct Method: x̅ =
∑ni=1fixi∑ni=1fi , where fi xi is the sum of observations from value i = 1 to n And fi is the number of observations from value i = 1 to n - Assumed mean method : x̅ =
a+∑ni=1fidi∑ni=1fi - Step deviation method : x̅ =
a+∑ni=1fiui∑ni=1fi×h
(II) The mode of grouped data:
Mode = l+f1–f02f1–f0–f2×h
(III) The median for a grouped data:
Median = l+n2–cff×h
