Finding the mean, mode and median Grouped Data

Finding the mean

1. The table below shows the frequency distribution of weight of the watermelons.

Weight (g) Number of watermelons
1.0 1.2 6
1.3 1.5 10
1.6 1.8 12
1.9 2.1 13
2.2 2.4 9

Calculate the mean weight.

students.

Pocket money (RM) Number of students
0.1 0.5 2
0.6 1.0 8
1.1 1.5 k
1.6 2.0 4

If the mean is RM1.10, find the value of k.

Finding the mode

Weight (g) Number of fish
35 44 18
45 54 20
55 64 40
65 74 30
75 84 12

Draw the histogram to determine the mode.
