Suppose that a data set contains values occurring with frequencies, respectively.

1. For a population of observations, so that

The mean is

2. For a sample of observations, so that

The mean is

The arithmetic is most conveniently set out in tabular form.

Example:

The score for the sample of 25 students on a 5-point quiz are shown below. Find the mean.

Solution:

We must find . We need a column to display the computation of the quantity (Table 1.3):

Table 1.3

In the end, .

Hence the mean of the scores

Is approximately 2.7.
