MHB Find Mean With Multiple Data [Shortcut]

[susanto3311]

hello everybody...

how to easy find mean with multiple data with simple formula [shortcut formula]?

please, see my picture..

thanks in advance...

Here is the formula:

$$\overline{x}=\frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left(x_kf_k\right)}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left(f_k\right)}$$

But to compute the mean using the above formula, you will have to essentially do what is shown in the table.

hi Mark, thanks but i confuse how to use your formula...

could you use my data sample (post #1)?

Hi susanto3311! Welcome to MHB! :)

The formula for your mean is:
$$Mean = \frac{
\overbrace{35+35+...+35}^{6}
+ \overbrace{40+40+...+40}^{8}
+ \overbrace{25+25+...+25}^{12}
+ \overbrace{20+20+...+20}^{24}
}{6+8+12+24}$$

In your picture each of the sums under an overbrace has been put in a separate cell. The result is calculated afterwards.

In Excel, you can do it in one formula: [m]=SUMPRODUCT(A2:A5, B2:B5) / SUM(B2:B5)[/m].
This is the same formula as the one that Mark gave, just in Excel style. (Wasntme)

i just want, how to find & calculate mean without hard work...
like my picture attach, without multiplication for each data with frequency...
do you have ideas?

without multiplication for each data with frequency...

Sorry, but that is not possible. (Dull)
The formulas given are the simplest way to calculate the mean of a frequency table.
