This problem will take you through calculating the mean for grouped data by hand.

The reason that the class midpoint is used in the table below is because it is the expected value for the average score in each class.

Part A:

Lower Class Limit Upper Class Limit Frequency Class midpoint Frequency times midpoint
40 44 1      
45 49 3      
50 54 4      
55 59 11 57 627
60 64 20 62 1240
