How often each value appears

In a frequency distribution table, what does the first row show?

The variable (different values)

What is the mode in a frequency distribution?

Value appearing most frequently

If a value appears 9 times (highest frequency), what is the mode?

The value itself, not 9

What is the median in a frequency distribution?

The middle value in order

What formula finds the median position where nn is total frequency?

12(n+1)\frac{1}{2}(n + 1)

What is the formula for the mean of a frequency distribution?

ΣfxΣf\frac{\Sigma fx}{\Sigma f}

In the mean formula, what does Σfx\Sigma fx represent?

Sum of (frequency × variable)

In the mean formula, what does Σf\Sigma f represent?

Sum of all frequencies

If Σfx=110\Sigma fx = 110 and Σf=20\Sigma f = 20, what is the mean?

5.5

What is a common mistake when calculating the mean?

Forgetting to multiply by frequency

If mean = 3 and Σfx=66+6x\Sigma fx = 66 + 6x, Σf=26+x\Sigma f = 26 + x, find xx.
