08 4-8 Standard deviation of a grouped (class) distribution

  • Replace each class by its midpoint x = (lower + upper)/2 and treat the table as a frequency distribution with those midpoints.
  • Then apply σ² = Σfx²/Σf − (Σfx/Σf)²; the answer is an estimate because the real values inside a class are unknown.
  • Use class boundaries, not the printed limits, when computing midpoints of continuous classes such as 10–19, 20–29.
  • Quartiles of grouped data are read from the cumulative-frequency curve or located in the class containing the required position.
