MEAN OF GROUPED DATA (DIRECT METHOD)
In most of our real life situations, data is usually so large that to make a
meaningful study it needs to be condensed as grouped data. So, we need
to convert given ungrouped data into grouped data and devise some
method to find its mean.
Let us convert the ungrouped data of Example 1 into grouped data by
forming class-intervals of width, say 15. Remember that, while
allocating frequencies to each class-interval, students falling in any
upper class-limit would be considered in the next class, e.g., 4 students
who have obtained 40 marks would be considered in the class interval
40-55 and not in 25-40.With this convention in our mind, let us form a
grouped frequency distribution table.
Example-1. Find the mean marks of the following distribution by Direct method.
Now, for each class-interval, we require a point which would serve as the
representative of the whole class.
It is assumed that the frequency of each class interval is centred around its mid-point. So the
mid-point (or class mark) of each class can be chosen to represent the observations
falling in the class.
Recall that we find the mid-point of a class (or its class mark) by finding the average
of its upper and lower limits.That is,
Class mark =
With reference toTable given above , for the class 10 -25, the class mark is ,
i.e.,17.5. Similarly, we can find the class marks of the remaining class intervals.We
put them inTable given below.These class marks serve as our xi’s. Now, in general,
for the ith class interval, we have the frequency fi corresponding to the class mark xi.
We can now proceed to compute the mean in the same manner as in Example 1

So, the mean of the given data is given by
= = = 62.
This new method of finding Mean is called as Direct Method for grouped data.
NOTE :The difference in the two values first mean and second is because of
the mid-point assumption in second table,59.3 being the exact mean,while
62 an approximate mean.

(SHORTCUT METHOD OR ASSUMED MEAN METHOD)
Sometimes when the numerical values of xi and fi are large, finding the product of xi and fi
becomes tedious and time consuming. So, for such situations, let us think of a method of reducing
these calculations.
We can do nothing with the fi’s, but we can change each xi to a smaller number so that our
calculations become easy. How do we do this?What about subtracting a fixed number from each of
these xi’s? Let us try this method.
The first step is to choose one among the xi’ s as the assumed mean, and denote it by‘a’.Also,
to further reduce our calculation work, we may take‘a’ to be that xi which lies in the centre of x1, x2 ,
. . ., xn. So, we can choose
a = 47.5 or a = 62.5. Let us choose a = 47.5
The next step is to find the difference di between a and each of the xi’s, that is, the
deviation of‘a’ from each of the xi’s .
i.e., di = xi – a = xi – 47.5
The third step is to find the product of di with the corresponding fi, and take the sum of all
the fi di‘s.The calculations are shown inTable given below.
Example-3. Find the mean marks of the following distribution by shortcut method or assumed
mean method.
Solution: From the table Let a = Assumed Mean= 47.5 ,= .
a = 47.5, ,
So, mean ( ) = a +
= 47.5 + = 47.5 + 14.5 = 62
Therefore, the mean marks obtained by the students is 62.

Activity 1 :
From the aboveTable if the students will be asked to find the mean by taking each of xi(i.e.,
17.5, 32.5, and so on) as‘a’.What do they observe?
They will find that the mean determined in each case is the same, i.e., 62.
Because as we find the difference of assumed mean a from each of xi and finally when we add the a in
the formula it balances the differences occurred at the first step.
DERIVATION OF FORMULA OF ASSUMED MEAN METHOD.
Proof: Let x1,x2,...,xn are observations with respective frequencies f1,f2,...,fn, respectively.Taking
deviations about an arbitrary point, 'a' we have
= - a, i = 1,2,3,...n.
Or, ,
i = 1,2,3,...n.
Or,
Or, =
Or, []= []
Or[]= = - a
Or, =a + (proved)
So, we can say that the value of the mean obtained does not depend on the choice of ‘a’
Example-4. Find the average cost of the following data by assumed
mean method.
Solution: Let, assumed mean (a) = 12
a = 12, (2 marks)
fi = 130,
fidi = 560
= 16.307
Therefore, average cost = 16.307 (1 mark)

MEAN OF GROUPED DATA
BY STEP DEVIATION METHOD
Sometimes ,during the application of the short-cut method for finding
mean , the deviations are divisible by a common number h (class size of
each class interval.). In such case the calculation is reduced to great
extent by taking
= ; i=1,2,3,... ,n
or, = a + h , (i =1,2,3,..., n)
or, = , (multiplied on both sides)
or,
or, =
or, = a + h (proved)
Following algorithm may be used to find the Mean by Step Deviation
method:
ALGORITHM FOR STEP DEVIATION METHOD
STEP-I Obtain the frequency distribution and prepare the frequency table in
such a way that its first column consists of the values of the variable and the
second column corresponding frequencies.
STEP- II Choose a number‘a' (generally known as the assumed mean)
and take deviations di= xi-a about a .Write these deviations against the
corresponding frequencies in the third column.
STEP- III Choose a number h, generally common factor for all di's in III column,
divide deviations di by h to get ui. Write these ui's against the corresponding di's
in the IV column.
STEP-IV Multiply the frequencies in the II column with the
corresponding ui's in IV column to prepareV column of fiui.
STEP -V Find the sum of all entries inV column to obtain and the sum
of all frequencies in II column to obtain N=
STEPVI Use the formula: = a + h
Following Example-6 will illustrate the above algorithm to find mean :
Solution: Let assumed mean = 47.5
Therefore using the formula:
= + h
Now substituting the values of a, h, and from theTable we get
= 47.5 + 15 =47.5+14.5 = 62 .
so, the mean marks obtained by a student is 62.

Example :7 The table below gives the percentage distribution of female teachers in
the primary schools of rural areas of various states and union territories (U.T.) of India. Find
the mean percentage of female teachers by all the three methods discussed in this section.
Solution: Let us solve this problem by using all the three methods.
From the table above, we obtain , , ,.
Using the direct method = = = 39.71
Assuming the mean from the class mark as a=50,
then using the assumed mean method = = 50 + = 39.71

Total 35 1390 -360 -36
REMARK
The result obtained by all the three methods is the same. So the
choice of method to be used depends on the numerical values of xi
and fi. If xi and fi are sufficiently small, then the direct method is an
appropriate choice. If xi and fi are numerically large numbers, then
we can go for the assumed mean method or step-deviation method.
If the class sizes are unequal, and xi are large numerically, we can
still apply the step-deviation method by taking h to be a suitable
divisor of all the di’s.
Example-8:The mean of the following distribution is 18.The frequency f in
the class interval 19-21 is missing. Determine f (3 Marks)
Solution :
Let us take assumed mean (a) = 18. Here h = 2 (2 Marks)
Using the step deviation method = a + = 18 +2
or, 18 = 18 +2 ; = 18(given)
f= 8 (1Mark)
Hence, the frequency of the class interval 19-21 is 8.

MODE OF GROUPED DATA.
A mode is that value among the observations which occurs most often, that is, the value of the
observation having the maximum frequency.
Further, we discussed finding the mode of ungrouped data. Here, we shall discuss ways of
obtaining a mode of grouped data. It is possible that more than one value may have the same
maximum frequency. In such situations, the data is said to be multimodal.Though grouped data
can also be multimodal, we shall restrict ourselves to problems having a single mode only.
In a grouped frequency distribution, it is not possible to determine the mode by looking at the
frequencies. Here, we can only locate a class with the maximum frequency, called the modal
class.The mode is a value inside the modal class, and is given by the formula:
Mode = l+
where l= lower limit of the modal class,
h= size of the class interval (assuming all class sizes to be equal),
f1= frequency of the modal class,
f0= frequency of the class preceding the modal class,
f2= frequency of the class succeeding the modal class.
Let us consider the following examples to illustrate the use of this formula.
Example 1 : A survey conducted on 20 households in a locality by a
group of students resulted in the following frequency table for the number
of family members in a house hold.Findthe mode of this data.
Solution :Here the maximum class frequency is 8, and the class
corresponding to this frequency is (3 – 5).
So, the modal class is 3 – 5.Now
lower limit (l ) of modal class = 3, class size (h) = 2
frequency (f1) of the modal class = 8,
frequency (f0 ) of class preceding the modal class = 7,
frequency (f2 ) of class succeeding the modal class = 2.
Now, let us substitute these values in the formula:
Mode = l +
Mode = 3 + = 3+ = 3.286.
Therefore, the mode of the data above is 3.286.
Family size 1-3 3-5 5-7 7- 9 9- 11
Number of families 7 8 2 2 1
Example 2.The marks distribution of 30 students in a mathematics
examination are given below . Find the mode of this data. (2Marks)
Solution: From the aboveTable ,since the maximum number of students
(i.e., 7) have got marks in the interval 40 - 55, the modal class is 40 -
55.Therefore, the lower limit ( l ) of the modal class = 40,
the class size (h) = 15,
the frequency (f1 ) of modal class = 7,
the frequency ( f0 ) of the class preceding the modal class = 3,
the frequency ( f2) of the class succeeding the modal class = 6.
Now, let us substitute these values in the formula: (1 Mark)
Mode = l+
Mode = 40 + = 40+ 12= 52.
So, the mode marks is 52 (1 Mark)

Example 3.The frequency distribution table of agricultural holdings
in a village is given below. Find the modal agricultural holdings of the
village.
Solution :Here the maximum class frequency is 80, and the class
corresponding to this frequency is 5-7.
So, the modal class is (5-7).
l ( lower limit of modal class) = 5
f1(frequency of the modal class) = 80
f0(frequency of the class preceding the modal class) = 45
f2(frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) = 55
h (class size) = 2
Mode = l +
Mode = 5 + = 5 + = 5+ 1.2 =6.2.
Hence, the modal agricultural holdings of the village is 6.2 hectares.

MEDIAN OF GROUPED DATA:
Median:The median is a measure of central tendency which gives the
value of the middle-most observation in the data. It is the value of the
variable such that the number of observations above it is equal to the
number of observations below it. Recall that for finding the median of
ungrouped data, we first arrange the data values of the observations in
ascending order.
Then, if n is odd, the median is the observation.
And, if n is even, then
the median will be the average of the th and the(thobservations.
Let us first recall how we found the median for ungrouped data through
the following
Example 1: Suppose, we have to find the median of the following
data, which gives the marks, out of 50, obtained by 100 students in
a test :
First, we arrange the marks in ascending order and prepare a frequency table as
follows :
Here n = 100, which is even.The median will be the average of the th and the
(th observations, i.e., the 50th and 51st observations.To find these observations,
we proceed as follows:
Marks

25 20
28 24
29 28
33 15
38 4
42 2
43 1
Total 100
Now we add another column depicting this information to the
frequency table above and name it as cumulative frequency column.
From the table above, we see that:
50th observation is 28 (Why?)
(Because out of 100 observations 50th
and 51st
are the middle places)
51st observation is 29
So, Median = = 28.5.
The median marks 28.5 conveys the information that about 50% students obtained
marks less than 28.5 and another 50% students obtained marks more than 28.5.

Now, let us see how to obtain the median of grouped data, through the
following situation.
Example 2: Consider a grouped frequency distribution of marks obtained, out
of 100, by 53 students, in a certain examination, as follows:
From the table above, try to answer the following questions:
How many students have scored marks less than 10? The answer is clearly 5.
How many students have scored less than 20 marks? Observe that the number
of students who have scored less than 20 include the number of students who have
scored marks from 0 - 10 as well as the number of students who have scored marks
from 10 - 20. So, the total number of students with marks less than 20 is 5 + 3, i.e., 8.
We say that the cumulative frequency of the class 10 -20 is 8.
Similarly, we can compute the cumulative frequencies of the other classes, i.e.,
the number of students with marks less than 30, less than 40, . . ., less than 100.
We give them inTable given below:
Marks 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 80-90 90-100
Number of
students

Cumulative frequency distributionTable of less than type:
Marks obtained Number of students
(Cumulative freqency)
Less than 10 5
Less than 20 5+3=8
Less than 30 8+4=12
Less than 40 12+3= 15
Less than 50 15+3 =18
Less than 60 18+4 = 22
Less than 70 22+7=29
Less than 80 29+ 9= 38
Less than 90 38+7=45
Less than 100 45+8=53
We can similarly make the table for the number of students with scores, more than or
equal to 0, more than or equal to 10, more than or equal to 20, and so on. From the
Frequency DistributionTable , we observe that all 53 students have scored marks
more than or equal to 0. Since there are 5 students scoring marks in the interval 0 - 10, this
means that there are 53 – 5 = 48 students getting more than or equal to 10 marks. Continuing
in the same manner, we get the number of students scoring 20 or above as 48 – 3 = 45, 30 or
above as 45 – 4 = 41, and so on, as shown inTable.
Cumulative Frequency DistributionTable of the more than type.
Marks Number of students (Cumulative freqency)
More than or equal to 0 53
More than or equal to 10 53-5= 48
More than or equal to 20 48-3=45
More than or equal to 30 45-4 =41
More than or equal to 40 41-3=38
More than or equal to 50 38-3=35
More than or equal to 60 35-4=31
More than or equal to 70 31-7=24
More than or equal to 80 24-9=15
More than or equal to 90 15-7=8
The table above is called a cumulative frequency distribution of the more
than type. Here 0, 10, 20, . . ., 90 give the lower limits of the respective
class intervals.
Now, to find the median of grouped data, we can make use of any of these
cumulative frequency distributions.
By combining QuestionTable & Less than typeTable we can get aTable
given below.Marks Number of students(f) Cumulative frequency(cf)
0-10 5 5
10-20 3 8
20-30 4 12
30-40 3 15
40-50 3 18
50-60 4 22
60-70 7 29
70-80 9 38
80-90 7 45
90-100 8 53
To find this class, we find the cumulative frequencies of all the classes and .We now
locate the class whose cumulative frequency is greater than (and nearest to) .This is called
the median class. In the distribution above, n = 53. So, = 26.5.
Now 60 – 70 is the class whose cumulative frequency 29 is greater than (and nearest
to) = 26.5 .Therefore, 60 – 70 is the median class.
After finding the median class, we use the following formula for calculating the median.
Median = + , Where = lower limit of the median class.
n = number of observations.
cf= cumulative frequency of class preceding the median class.
f= frequency of the median class.
h= class size(assuming class size to be equal)
Substituting the values = 26.5, l = 60, cf = 22, f = 7, h = 10 in the formula above, we
get
Median = 60 +
=60+
=66.4
So, about half the students have scored marks less than 66.4, and the other half have
scored marks more than 66.4.
Sometime the median of a data is given but one or two of the frequencies
from the table are found missing . In such cases how to find the missing
frequencies by using the formula for median lets learn.
Example 3 : The median of the following data is 525. Find the values of x and y, if the
total frequency is 100.

It is given that n = 100
So, 76 + x + y = 100, i.e., x + y = 24 (1)
The median is 525, which lies in the class 500 – 600
So, l = 500, f = 20, cf = 36 + x, h = 100
Using the formula : Median = 𝑙 + ൤

i.e., 525 – 500 = (14 – x) × 5
i.e., 25 = 70 – 5x
i.e., 5x = 70 – 25 = 45
So, x = 9
Therefore, from (1), we get 9 + y = 24
i.e., y = 15
A study on the Nature of the Central tendencies
Now, that we have studied about all the three measures of central tendency, let us discuss
which measure would be best suited for a particular requirement.
 The mean is the most frequently used measure of central tendency because it takes
into account all the observations, and lies between the extremes, i.e., the largest and
the smallest observations of the entire data. It also enables us to compare two or
more distributions.
For example, by comparing the average (mean) results of students of different
schools of a particular examination, we can conclude which school has a better
performance.
However, extreme values in the data affect the mean. For example, the mean of
classes having frequencies more or less the same is a good representative of the data.
But, if one class has frequency, say 2, and the five others have frequency 20, 25, 20,
21, 18, then the mean will certainly not reflect the way the data behaves. So, in such
cases, the mean is not a good representative of the data.
 In problems where individual observations are not important, and we wish to find
out a ‘typical’ observation, the median is more appropriate, e.g., finding the typical
productivity rate of workers, average wage in a country, etc. These are situations
where extreme values may be there. So, rather than the mean, we take the median as
a better measure of central tendency.
In situations which require establishing the most frequent value or most popular
item, the mode is the best choice, e.g., to find the most popular T.V. programme
being watched, the consumer item in greatest demand, the colour of the vehicle used
by most of the people, etc.
There is an empirical relationship between the three measures of central tendency :
3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean
GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY
DISTRIBUTION
In previous class IX we have studied simple frequency curves which are drawn by plotting
frequencies against class marks of the class intervals.
In this class we will learn the technique of drawing Cumulative Frequencies plotted against
corresponding upper or lower limits of the classes depending upon the manner in which the
series has been cumulated.
Such type of curves are called Ogives.
An Ogive is a graphical representation of cumulative frequency distribution, in the form of a
smooth continuous, free hand curve, which is either ever rising upwards or ever falling
downwards.
As per the data is cumulated there are two types of Ogives are possible according to it i.e
less than type and more than type.
Less than type Ogive is drawn by taking upper limits with corresponding increasing
cumulative frequencies ,while More than type Ogive is drawn by taking lower limits with
corresponding decreasing cumulative frequencies .
Median can be found from these graphs by finding corresponding value of observation
from class interval axis by joining middle place (n/2)from the cumulative
frequency axis.
Lets learn through an ACTIVITY:

Take a point A(0, 20) on y-axis and draw AP || x-axis, meeting the curve at P.
Draw PM  x-axis, intersecting the x-axis at M.Then, OM = 55 units and hence,
median = 55.
Finding Median from Double Ogives
When the both Ogives are given or drawn on a single graph then the point of intersection of both the
Ogives shows the Median dirtectly. In such case we need to find the corresponding observation value of
the class from the graph with respect to the point of intersection of the Less than and More than Ogives.

obtained by 200candidates in a BBA entrance examination. Draw cumulative
frequency curves by using

  • 8. MEAN OF GROUPED DATA (DIRECT METHOD) In most of our real life situations, data is usually so large that to make a meaningful study it needs to be condensed as grouped data. So, we need to convert given ungrouped data into grouped data and devise some method to find its mean. Let us convert the ungrouped data of Example 1 into grouped data by forming class-intervals of width, say 15. Remember that, while allocating frequencies to each class-interval, students falling in any upper class-limit would be considered in the next class, e.g., 4 students who have obtained 40 marks would be considered in the class interval 40-55 and not in 25-40.With this convention in our mind, let us form a grouped frequency distribution table.
  • 9. Example-1. Find the mean marks of the following distribution by Direct method. Now, for each class-interval, we require a point which would serve as the representative of the whole class. It is assumed that the frequency of each class interval is centred around its mid-point. So the mid-point (or class mark) of each class can be chosen to represent the observations falling in the class. Recall that we find the mid-point of a class (or its class mark) by finding the average of its upper and lower limits.That is, Class mark = With reference toTable given above , for the class 10 -25, the class mark is , i.e.,17.5. Similarly, we can find the class marks of the remaining class intervals.We put them inTable given below.These class marks serve as our xi’s. Now, in general, for the ith class interval, we have the frequency fi corresponding to the class mark xi. We can now proceed to compute the mean in the same manner as in Example 1 Class interval. 10-25 25-40 40-55 55-70 70-85 85-100 Number of students 2 3 7 6 6 6
  • 10. Table. So, the mean of the given data is given by = = = 62. This new method of finding Mean is called as Direct Method for grouped data. NOTE :The difference in the two values first mean and second is because of the mid-point assumption in second table,59.3 being the exact mean,while 62 an approximate mean.

  • 13. (SHORTCUT METHOD OR ASSUMED MEAN METHOD) Sometimes when the numerical values of xi and fi are large, finding the product of xi and fi becomes tedious and time consuming. So, for such situations, let us think of a method of reducing these calculations. We can do nothing with the fi’s, but we can change each xi to a smaller number so that our calculations become easy. How do we do this?What about subtracting a fixed number from each of these xi’s? Let us try this method. The first step is to choose one among the xi’ s as the assumed mean, and denote it by‘a’.Also, to further reduce our calculation work, we may take‘a’ to be that xi which lies in the centre of x1, x2 , . . ., xn. So, we can choose a = 47.5 or a = 62.5. Let us choose a = 47.5 The next step is to find the difference di between a and each of the xi’s, that is, the deviation of‘a’ from each of the xi’s . i.e., di = xi – a = xi – 47.5 The third step is to find the product of di with the corresponding fi, and take the sum of all the fi di‘s.The calculations are shown inTable given below.
  • 14. Example-3. Find the mean marks of the following distribution by shortcut method or assumed mean method. Solution: From the table Let a = Assumed Mean= 47.5 ,= . a = 47.5, , So, mean ( ) = a + = 47.5 + = 47.5 + 14.5 = 62 Therefore, the mean marks obtained by the students is 62.

  • 15. Activity 1 : From the aboveTable if the students will be asked to find the mean by taking each of xi(i.e., 17.5, 32.5, and so on) as‘a’.What do they observe? They will find that the mean determined in each case is the same, i.e., 62. Because as we find the difference of assumed mean a from each of xi and finally when we add the a in the formula it balances the differences occurred at the first step. DERIVATION OF FORMULA OF ASSUMED MEAN METHOD. Proof: Let x1,x2,...,xn are observations with respective frequencies f1,f2,...,fn, respectively.Taking deviations about an arbitrary point, 'a' we have = - a, i = 1,2,3,...n. Or, , i = 1,2,3,...n. Or, Or, = Or, []= [] Or[]= = - a Or, =a + (proved) So, we can say that the value of the mean obtained does not depend on the choice of ‘a’

  • 18. MEAN OF GROUPED DATA BY STEP DEVIATION METHOD Sometimes ,during the application of the short-cut method for finding mean , the deviations are divisible by a common number h (class size of each class interval.). In such case the calculation is reduced to great extent by taking = ; i=1,2,3,... ,n or, = a + h , (i =1,2,3,..., n) or, = , (multiplied on both sides) or, or, = or, = a + h (proved) Following algorithm may be used to find the Mean by Step Deviation method:
  • 19. ALGORITHM FOR STEP DEVIATION METHOD STEP-I Obtain the frequency distribution and prepare the frequency table in such a way that its first column consists of the values of the variable and the second column corresponding frequencies. STEP- II Choose a number‘a' (generally known as the assumed mean) and take deviations di= xi-a about a .Write these deviations against the corresponding frequencies in the third column. STEP- III Choose a number h, generally common factor for all di's in III column, divide deviations di by h to get ui. Write these ui's against the corresponding di's in the IV column. STEP-IV Multiply the frequencies in the II column with the corresponding ui's in IV column to prepareV column of fiui. STEP -V Find the sum of all entries inV column to obtain and the sum of all frequencies in II column to obtain N= STEPVI Use the formula: = a + h
  • 20. Following Example-6 will illustrate the above algorithm to find mean : Solution: Let assumed mean = 47.5 Therefore using the formula: = + h Now substituting the values of a, h, and from theTable we get = 47.5 + 15 =47.5+14.5 = 62 . so, the mean marks obtained by a student is 62.

Using the direct method = = = 39.71 Assuming the mean from the class mark as a=50, then using the assumed mean method = = 50 + = 39.71 Using the step deviation method = a + = 50 + = 39.71 Percentage of female teachers 15-25 25-35 35-45 45-55 55-65 65-75 75-85 Number of states/U.T. 6 11 7 4 4 2 1 %of female teachers Number of states/U.T.() 15-25 6 20 -30 -3 120 -180 -18 25-35 11 30 -20 -2 330 -220 -22 35-45 7 40 -10 -1 280 -70 -7 45-55 4 50 0 0 200 0 0 55-65 4 60 10 1 240 40 4 65-75 2 70 20 2 140 40 4 75-85 1 80 30 3 80 30 3 Total 35 1390 -360 -36
  • 22. REMARK The result obtained by all the three methods is the same. So the choice of method to be used depends on the numerical values of xi and fi. If xi and fi are sufficiently small, then the direct method is an appropriate choice. If xi and fi are numerically large numbers, then we can go for the assumed mean method or step-deviation method. If the class sizes are unequal, and xi are large numerically, we can still apply the step-deviation method by taking h to be a suitable divisor of all the di’s.
  • 23. Example-8:The mean of the following distribution is 18.The frequency f in the class interval 19-21 is missing. Determine f (3 Marks) Solution : Let us take assumed mean (a) = 18. Here h = 2 (2 Marks) Using the step deviation method = a + = 18 +2 or, 18 = 18 +2 ; = 18(given) f= 8 (1Mark) Hence, the frequency of the class interval 19-21 is 8.

  • 24. MODE OF GROUPED DATA. A mode is that value among the observations which occurs most often, that is, the value of the observation having the maximum frequency. Further, we discussed finding the mode of ungrouped data. Here, we shall discuss ways of obtaining a mode of grouped data. It is possible that more than one value may have the same maximum frequency. In such situations, the data is said to be multimodal.Though grouped data can also be multimodal, we shall restrict ourselves to problems having a single mode only. In a grouped frequency distribution, it is not possible to determine the mode by looking at the frequencies. Here, we can only locate a class with the maximum frequency, called the modal class.The mode is a value inside the modal class, and is given by the formula: Mode = l+ where l= lower limit of the modal class, h= size of the class interval (assuming all class sizes to be equal), f1= frequency of the modal class, f0= frequency of the class preceding the modal class, f2= frequency of the class succeeding the modal class. Let us consider the following examples to illustrate the use of this formula.
  • 25. Example 1 : A survey conducted on 20 households in a locality by a group of students resulted in the following frequency table for the number of family members in a house hold.Findthe mode of this data. Solution :Here the maximum class frequency is 8, and the class corresponding to this frequency is (3 – 5). So, the modal class is 3 – 5.Now lower limit (l ) of modal class = 3, class size (h) = 2 frequency (f1) of the modal class = 8, frequency (f0 ) of class preceding the modal class = 7, frequency (f2 ) of class succeeding the modal class = 2. Now, let us substitute these values in the formula: Mode = l + Mode = 3 + = 3+ = 3.286. Therefore, the mode of the data above is 3.286. Family size 1-3 3-5 5-7 7- 9 9- 11 Number of families 7 8 2 2 1
  • 26. Example 2.The marks distribution of 30 students in a mathematics examination are given below . Find the mode of this data. (2Marks) Solution: From the aboveTable ,since the maximum number of students (i.e., 7) have got marks in the interval 40 - 55, the modal class is 40 - 55.Therefore, the lower limit ( l ) of the modal class = 40, the class size (h) = 15, the frequency (f1 ) of modal class = 7, the frequency ( f0 ) of the class preceding the modal class = 3, the frequency ( f2) of the class succeeding the modal class = 6. Now, let us substitute these values in the formula: (1 Mark) Mode = l+ Mode = 40 + = 40+ 12= 52. So, the mode marks is 52 (1 Mark) Class interval. 10-25 25-40 40-55 55-70 70-85 85-100 Number of students 2 3 7 6 6 6
  • 27. Example 3.The frequency distribution table of agricultural holdings in a village is given below. Find the modal agricultural holdings of the village. Solution :Here the maximum class frequency is 80, and the class corresponding to this frequency is 5-7. So, the modal class is (5-7). l ( lower limit of modal class) = 5 f1(frequency of the modal class) = 80 f0(frequency of the class preceding the modal class) = 45 f2(frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) = 55 h (class size) = 2 Mode = l + Mode = 5 + = 5 + = 5+ 1.2 =6.2. Hence, the modal agricultural holdings of the village is 6.2 hectares. Area of land (in hectares) 1-3 3-5 5-7 7-9 9-11 11-13 Number of families 20 45 80 55 40 12
  • 29. MEDIAN OF GROUPED DATA: Median:The median is a measure of central tendency which gives the value of the middle-most observation in the data. It is the value of the variable such that the number of observations above it is equal to the number of observations below it. Recall that for finding the median of ungrouped data, we first arrange the data values of the observations in ascending order. Then, if n is odd, the median is the observation. And, if n is even, then the median will be the average of the th and the(thobservations. Let us first recall how we found the median for ungrouped data through the following
  • 30. Example 1: Suppose, we have to find the median of the following data, which gives the marks, out of 50, obtained by 100 students in a test : First, we arrange the marks in ascending order and prepare a frequency table as follows : Here n = 100, which is even.The median will be the average of the th and the (th observations, i.e., the 50th and 51st observations.To find these observations, we proceed as follows: Marks obtained 20 29 28 33 42 38 43 25 Number of students 6 28 24 15 2 4 1 20 Marks obtained Number of studets(Frequency) 20 6 25 20 28 24 29 28 33 15 38 4 42 2 43 1 Total 100
  • 31. Now we add another column depicting this information to the frequency table above and name it as cumulative frequency column. From the table above, we see that: 50th observation is 28 (Why?) (Because out of 100 observations 50th and 51st are the middle places) 51st observation is 29 So, Median = = 28.5. The median marks 28.5 conveys the information that about 50% students obtained marks less than 28.5 and another 50% students obtained marks more than 28.5. Marks obtained Number of students Cumulative frequency (cf) 20 6 6 25 20 26 28 24 50 29 28 78 33 15 93 38 4 97 42 2 99 43 1 100
  • 32. Now, let us see how to obtain the median of grouped data, through the following situation. Example 2: Consider a grouped frequency distribution of marks obtained, out of 100, by 53 students, in a certain examination, as follows: From the table above, try to answer the following questions: How many students have scored marks less than 10? The answer is clearly 5. How many students have scored less than 20 marks? Observe that the number of students who have scored less than 20 include the number of students who have scored marks from 0 - 10 as well as the number of students who have scored marks from 10 - 20. So, the total number of students with marks less than 20 is 5 + 3, i.e., 8. We say that the cumulative frequency of the class 10 -20 is 8. Similarly, we can compute the cumulative frequencies of the other classes, i.e., the number of students with marks less than 30, less than 40, . . ., less than 100. We give them inTable given below: Marks 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 80-90 90-100 Number of students 5 3 4 3 3 4 7 9 7 8
  • 33. Cumulative frequency distributionTable of less than type: Marks obtained Number of students (Cumulative freqency) Less than 10 5 Less than 20 5+3=8 Less than 30 8+4=12 Less than 40 12+3= 15 Less than 50 15+3 =18 Less than 60 18+4 = 22 Less than 70 22+7=29 Less than 80 29+ 9= 38 Less than 90 38+7=45 Less than 100 45+8=53
  • 34. We can similarly make the table for the number of students with scores, more than or equal to 0, more than or equal to 10, more than or equal to 20, and so on. From the Frequency DistributionTable , we observe that all 53 students have scored marks more than or equal to 0. Since there are 5 students scoring marks in the interval 0 - 10, this means that there are 53 – 5 = 48 students getting more than or equal to 10 marks. Continuing in the same manner, we get the number of students scoring 20 or above as 48 – 3 = 45, 30 or above as 45 – 4 = 41, and so on, as shown inTable. Cumulative Frequency DistributionTable of the more than type. Marks Number of students (Cumulative freqency) More than or equal to 0 53 More than or equal to 10 53-5= 48 More than or equal to 20 48-3=45 More than or equal to 30 45-4 =41 More than or equal to 40 41-3=38 More than or equal to 50 38-3=35 More than or equal to 60 35-4=31 More than or equal to 70 31-7=24 More than or equal to 80 24-9=15 More than or equal to 90 15-7=8
  • 35. The table above is called a cumulative frequency distribution of the more than type. Here 0, 10, 20, . . ., 90 give the lower limits of the respective class intervals. Now, to find the median of grouped data, we can make use of any of these cumulative frequency distributions. By combining QuestionTable & Less than typeTable we can get aTable given below.Marks Number of students(f) Cumulative frequency(cf) 0-10 5 5 10-20 3 8 20-30 4 12 30-40 3 15 40-50 3 18 50-60 4 22 60-70 7 29 70-80 9 38 80-90 7 45 90-100 8 53
  • 36. To find this class, we find the cumulative frequencies of all the classes and .We now locate the class whose cumulative frequency is greater than (and nearest to) .This is called the median class. In the distribution above, n = 53. So, = 26.5. Now 60 – 70 is the class whose cumulative frequency 29 is greater than (and nearest to) = 26.5 .Therefore, 60 – 70 is the median class. After finding the median class, we use the following formula for calculating the median. Median = + , Where = lower limit of the median class. n = number of observations. cf= cumulative frequency of class preceding the median class. f= frequency of the median class. h= class size(assuming class size to be equal) Substituting the values = 26.5, l = 60, cf = 22, f = 7, h = 10 in the formula above, we get Median = 60 + =60+ =66.4 So, about half the students have scored marks less than 66.4, and the other half have scored marks more than 66.4.
  • 37. Sometime the median of a data is given but one or two of the frequencies from the table are found missing . In such cases how to find the missing frequencies by using the formula for median lets learn. Example 3 : The median of the following data is 525. Find the values of x and y, if the total frequency is 100. Class interval Frequency 0 - 100 2 100 - 200 5 200 - 300 x 300 - 400 12 400 - 500 17 500 - 600 20 600 - 700 y 700 - 800 9 800 - 900 7 900 - 1000 4
  • 38. Solution : Class interval Frequency Cumulative frequency 0 - 100 2 2 100 - 200 5 7 200 - 300 x 7 + x 300 - 400 12 19 + x 400 - 500 17 36 + x 500 - 600 20 56 + x 600 - 700 y 56 + x + y 700 - 800 9 65 + x + y 800 - 900 7 72 + x + y 900 - 1000 4 76 + x + y It is given that n = 100 So, 76 + x + y = 100, i.e., x + y = 24 (1) The median is 525, which lies in the class 500 – 600 So, l = 500, f = 20, cf = 36 + x, h = 100 Using the formula : Median = 𝑙 + ྤ 𝑛 2 −𝑐𝑓 𝑓 ྨ × ℎ 525 = 500 +ቂ 50−36−𝑥 20 ቃ× 100 i.e., 525 – 500 = (14 – x) × 5 i.e., 25 = 70 – 5x i.e., 5x = 70 – 25 = 45 So, x = 9 Therefore, from (1), we get 9 + y = 24 i.e., y = 15
  • 39. A study on the Nature of the Central tendencies Now, that we have studied about all the three measures of central tendency, let us discuss which measure would be best suited for a particular requirement.  The mean is the most frequently used measure of central tendency because it takes into account all the observations, and lies between the extremes, i.e., the largest and the smallest observations of the entire data. It also enables us to compare two or more distributions. For example, by comparing the average (mean) results of students of different schools of a particular examination, we can conclude which school has a better performance. However, extreme values in the data affect the mean. For example, the mean of classes having frequencies more or less the same is a good representative of the data. But, if one class has frequency, say 2, and the five others have frequency 20, 25, 20, 21, 18, then the mean will certainly not reflect the way the data behaves. So, in such cases, the mean is not a good representative of the data.  In problems where individual observations are not important, and we wish to find out a ‘typical’ observation, the median is more appropriate, e.g., finding the typical productivity rate of workers, average wage in a country, etc. These are situations where extreme values may be there. So, rather than the mean, we take the median as a better measure of central tendency. In situations which require establishing the most frequent value or most popular item, the mode is the best choice, e.g., to find the most popular T.V. programme being watched, the consumer item in greatest demand, the colour of the vehicle used by most of the people, etc. There is an empirical relationship between the three measures of central tendency : 3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean
  • 40. GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION In previous class IX we have studied simple frequency curves which are drawn by plotting frequencies against class marks of the class intervals. In this class we will learn the technique of drawing Cumulative Frequencies plotted against corresponding upper or lower limits of the classes depending upon the manner in which the series has been cumulated. Such type of curves are called Ogives. An Ogive is a graphical representation of cumulative frequency distribution, in the form of a smooth continuous, free hand curve, which is either ever rising upwards or ever falling downwards. As per the data is cumulated there are two types of Ogives are possible according to it i.e less than type and more than type. Less than type Ogive is drawn by taking upper limits with corresponding increasing cumulative frequencies ,while More than type Ogive is drawn by taking lower limits with corresponding decreasing cumulative frequencies . Median can be found from these graphs by finding corresponding value of observation from class interval axis by joining middle place (n/2)from the cumulative frequency axis. Lets learn through an ACTIVITY: ACTIVITY FOR OGIVE.mp4
