🛎️ Mean from a Frequency Table
- Multiply each value by its frequency and add the results.
- Divide by the total frequency to find the mean.
🛎️ Median from a Frequency Table
- Add the frequencies to find the total number of values (n).
- Use (n + 1) ÷ 2 to find the median position.
- Example: if n = 15, (15 + 1) ÷ 2 = 8, so the 8th value is the median.
🛎️ Range from a Frequency Table
- The range is the largest value minus the smallest value.
- Exam tip: do not use frequencies, only use the values.
🛎️ Mode from a Frequency Table
- The mode is the value that appears the most often.
- It is the value with the highest frequency.
Practice Questions
Test your understanding
The frequency table below shows the number of books read by students. What is the mode of the data?

Correct! 🎉 +10 pointsNot quite right
The mode is the value that appears most frequently. Here, 1 appears 8 times, so the mode is 1.
The table below shows the number of hours students spend on homework. What is the range of the data?

Correct! 🎉 +10 pointsNot quite right
The range is the difference between the maximum value (3) and the minimum value (0): .
The table below shows the marks scored by students in a quiz. What is the mean mark?

Correct! 🎉 +20 pointsNot quite right
Calculate the total marks: . Total frequency is . Mean .
The table below shows the number of books borrowed by students from a library. What is the mean number of books borrowed?

Correct! 🎉 +20 pointsNot quite right
Calculate the total number of books borrowed: . Total frequency is . Mean .
The table below shows the number of pets owned by students. What is the median of the data?

Correct! 🎉 +20 pointsNot quite right
The total number of students is . The median is the 8th value. The first 3 values are 0, the next 5 values are 1, so the 8th value is 1.
The table below shows the number of questions answered by students in a quiz. What is the median number of questions answered?

Correct! 🎉 +30 pointsNot quite right
First find the total frequency: . Since this is even, the median is the average of the 8th and 9th values. The 8th value is 6 and the 9th value is 7, so the median is .
