Questions and Answers

In finding the median for grouped data, what does $L$ represent in the formula?

  • Sum of frequency before the median class
  • Lower class boundary of the median class (correct)
  • Size of the class interval
  • Frequency of the median class
  • For ungrouped data, which formula is used to find the mode of the data?

  • $Mode = L + \left(\frac{\Delta1}{\Delta1 + \Delta2}\right)h$ (correct)
  • $Mode = L + \left(\frac{\Delta1}{h}\right)$
  • $Mode = L + \left(\frac{\Delta1 + \Delta2}{2}\right)h$
  • $Mode = L + \Delta1h$
  • In grouped data without interval, what does $ax_1 + ax_2$ represent?

  • $x_1$ multiplied by $a$ plus $x_2$ multiplied by $a$ (correct)
  • $x_1$ and $x_2$ values
  • A calculation error
  • $a$ multiplied by sum of all observations
  • What does the total deviation of each observation from its mean equal to in a distribution?

    Study Notes

    Median for Grouped Data

    • In the formula for finding the median, $L$ represents the lower boundary of the median class.

    Mode for Ungrouped Data

    • There is no specific formula to find the mode for ungrouped data; the mode is the value that appears most frequently in the dataset.

    Grouped Data without Intervals

    • In grouped data without intervals, $ax_1 + ax_2$ does not have any specific representation as intervals are needed to calculate these values.

    Total Deviation

    • The total deviation of each observation from its mean equals zero in a distribution.

    Median for Grouped Data (continued)

    • In the formula for finding the median, 'fm' represents the frequency of the median class.
