Objective
Be able to find the mean from a frequency table.
Be able to compare two distributions using the mean and
the range.

ABC Motoring
Here are the number of tests taken before successfully passing a driving test by 40 students of “ABC Motoring”
2, 4, 1, 2, 1, 3, 7, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 3, 2, 3, 4, 1, 1, 2, 5, 1, 2, 3, 2, 6, 1, 2, 7, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 4
It is difficult to analyse the data in this form. We can group the results into a frequency table.

Remember, when finding the mean of a set of data, we add together all the pieces of data.
This tells us that there were nine 1’s in our list. So we would do
1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 9
It is simpler to use 1x9!!
We can do this for every row.

hhhhhhhhhh
1 x 9 = 9
2 x 11 = 22
3 x 7 = 21
4 x 6 = 24
5 x 3 = 15
6 x 2 = 12
7 x 2 = 14
We now need to add these together 107So we have now added all the values up. What do we do now?We divide by how many values there were.So we divide by the total number of people.

The Mean is 107 ÷ 40 = 2.7 (1dp)

Bob’s Driving School
Now let’s look at another Driving school from the same town. Here are the number of tests taken by 40 students at “Bob’s Driving School”
3, 2, 4, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 3, 3, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3, 3
Grouping the data will help us to analyse it more efficiently …

We can now find the mean
hhhhhhhhhh
1 x 3 = 3
2 x 11 = 22
3 x 12 = 36
4 x 10 = 40
5 x 4 = 2012140
The Mean is 121 ÷ 40 = 3.0 (1dp)
