13. Statistics
This chapter covers the extension of measures of central tendency, including mean, median, and mode, from ungrouped to grouped data. It introduces methods for calculating mean, including direct, assumed mean, and step-deviation methods, alongside strategies for finding mode and median in grouped data. The chapter concludes with various exercises and activities that reinforce these statistical concepts.

What we have learnt
- The mean for grouped data can be calculated by three methods: direct, assumed mean, and step-deviation.
- The mode of grouped data is derived using a specific formula that considers the frequencies of the modal class and its adjacent classes.
- The median for grouped data is determined using the cumulative frequency and a defined formula for the median class.
Key Concepts
- -- Mean
- A measure of central tendency calculated as the sum of all observations divided by the number of observations.
- -- Median
- The middle value that separates the higher half from the lower half of the data set.
- -- Mode
- The value that appears most frequently in a data set.
- -- Cumulative Frequency
- A running total of frequencies up to a certain point in the data set.
