In calculating the mean of grouped data, grouped in classes of equal width, we may use the formula where a is the assumed mean. a must be one of the mid-points of the classes. Is the last statement correct? Justify your answer.
No, the assertion isn't right. It isn't required that expected mean ought to be the mid – mark of the class span. a can be considered as any worth which is not difficult to work on it.
The median of an ungrouped data and the median calculated when the same data is grouped are always the same. Do you think that this is a correct statement? Give reason.
