Mean and Standard Deviation of
Grouped Data
• Make a frequency table
• Compute the midpoint (x) for each class.
• Count the number of entries in each class
(f).
• Sum the f values to find n, the total
number of entries in the distribution.
• Treat each entry of a class as if it falls at
the class midpoint.
