Drills
Multiplying each value by its frequency, then dividing by the total frequency.
Author note — to cover
Calculate the mean from an ungrouped frequency table: build the value-times-frequency column, divide the fx total by the total frequency, and confront dividing by the number of rows as the classic error. Discrete data, exact answers. Grouped means are estimates on Estimating the mean; the median from a table is the sibling page. Both tiers. (S4)
