Key Facts About Grouped Data

  • Class intervals: Ranges like 160-170cm that group similar values together
  • Class boundaries: The actual limits of each interval (e.g., 159.5-169.5)
  • Class width: The size of each interval (usually kept equal)
  • Frequency: How many values fall in each class
  • Modal class: The class interval with the highest frequency
  • Midpoint: The middle value of each class interval

A frequency table uses the class intervals shown below. | Speed, s (mph) | Frequency | |---|---| | 0 < s ≤ 20 | 4 | | 20 < s ≤ 40 | 11 | | 40 < s ≤ 60 | 9 | | 60 < s ≤ 80 | 2 | A car travels at exactly 40 mph. Which class interval does this value belong to?

  • A. 20 < s ≤ 40
  • B. 0 < s ≤ 20
  • C. 40 < s ≤ 60
  • D. It could belong to either 20 < s ≤ 40 or 40 < s ≤ 60

A teacher groups 30 students' test scores into four class intervals and calculates the estimated mean and estimated median. Explain why both the estimated mean and the estimated median from grouped data are only approximations of the true values. In your answer, refer to the assumptions made.

Quick Recall Flashcards

What is grouped data?
Grouped data is when individual data values are organized into classes or intervals. For example, heights might be grouped as 150-160cm, 160-170cm, etc.
What is class width?
Class width is the size of each class interval. For '10 ≤ x < 20', the class width is 20 - 10 = 10. Equal class widths make data easier to analyze.
