Practise estimated-mean questions by finding midpoints, multiplying by frequencies and dividing by the total frequency carefully.

How this is tested

  • Find class midpoints from grouped intervals before estimating the total.
  • Multiply each midpoint by its frequency and divide by the total frequency.
  • State that the result is an estimate because grouped data uses interval midpoints.
