There are three methods to find mean for a frequency distribution. (i) Direct method: where x is the mid-interval f is the frequency M is the mean (ii) Short-cut method: where A = assumed mean d = x - A (iii) Step-deviation method: where i = class size We illustrate each of these methods w..

The scientific methods of collection of data, its classification and application to commerce and everyday life is called statistics. A list of some important terms as follows: (i) ungrouped data (ii) tabulation of data (iii) range (iv) frequency (v) fre..

Summary - The mean deviation (M.D) of a statistical data is defined as the arithmetic mean of the numerical values of the deviations of the items from some average. For an individual series, For a frequency distribution, If M.D is calculated about mean, then it is written as M.D..

The range for the above ungrouped data is 49 - 12 = 37. Normally it is desirable to divide the range into 6 to 10 classes. Consider the class 11 - 15. If a student scores 11 marks or 15 marks, he will be put in this class. For this class, 11 is the lower limit and 15 is the upper limit an..

of a statistical data is defined as the positive square root of the arithmetic mean of the squared deviations of items from their arithmetic mean of the series under consideration. The standard deviation is denoted by s (sigma). The standard deviation is also known as Root ..

Tabulation of Data - Consider Standard IX of a school. There are four divisions in this class. Standard IX-A has 10 girls and 12 boys. Standard IX-B has 6 girls and 20 boys. Standard IX-C has 18 girls and 12 boys. Standard IX-D has 16 girls and 24 boys. This data can be represen..
