What we have are various values:
and their corresponding frequencies (how many times each of those values occurs):
We can write this relationship as ordered pairs
That means there are individuals/scores in the population.
So, to compute the mean, you need to multiply each value by its corresponding frequency
, and then sum all the
, then divide by
.
To find the median, you simply need to use the frequencies, to determine where half of the population/scores is at/below, and the other half at/above, and then find the corresponding value
. For example, in this case, the median value is given by
.
The mode is the most commonly occurring value: here, there are occurrences of the value
, more occurrences of that value than any other value. So mode is given by
.
Now for the last two questions: how many individuals in the population of scored
or
? Sum the corresponding frequencies, divide by
and multiply by
.
How many individuals scored or
? Sum the corresponding frequencies, and divide the sum by
, then multiply by
to obtain the percentage.
Your last two percentages should add to .
how do I calculate the mean, mode, median and the variance from a table and histogram? [intro to statistics| university level]
statistics to find mean ,median mode - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Why is median used over mode
When is it best to use the mean, mode, and/or median when asked for the average?

hello kind people of reddit.
I was given the following question(well the shortened version)
out of a semple size of 100 watermellon a researche derived the following table:
| number of watermellons | mass in Kg |
|---|---|
| 30 | 3-5 |
| 25 | 5-6 |
| 20 | 6-7 |
| 15 | 7-8 |
| 10 | 8-10 |
a. create a histogram for the given table.
b. calculate the mean, mode, median and the variance of the watermellon's mass
c. Tom and Jon both bought watermellons. Tom's watermellon is in the 60 precentile and Jon's watermellon has a standard score of 0.6. who bought a heavier watermellon? (show calculations)
d. the price of a watermellon consists of a set price of one dollar + 0.8 dollars more for each kilogram. what is the mean and variance of a watermellon's price?
e. later in the research 150 more random watermellons were samppled. the mean of their mass is 6.1Kg with a variance of 3.09Kg2. find the mean and variance of all 250 watermellons.
my problem is lack of fundumental understanding. I tried to open my books and self study but the material is disorgenized and drowned by pages of I dont even know what but its completly unreadable.
if anyone could help or share some sort of resorce for self study I would greatly appreciate it.
I am stuck at section b because I cant figure out what type of mean am I supposed to use here.
thank you all.
