How do I find the average of these numbers?

3 males: 11-20 3 ……. : 21-40 2…: 1-5 2…: 6-10 1…: 40 or more

Answer #1

you add them all up and then divide them by how many there is..

so if we have a 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 we would say 5 add 4 add the rest which gives 15 then divide the 5 numbers by 15 and you have an average of 3.

i think, i was never good at maths ha

Answer #2

It’s that the “mean”? Isnt the “average” the biggest number subtracted by the smallest number? So, 5-1=4 if I used your example? I dont know, Im terrrible when it comes to math too.

Answer #3

no thats the range

Answer #4

mean is the average but i still cant find it cos its in groups :/

Answer #5

Ah, word. Sorry, dont know how to help.

Answer #6

bugger dont ask me i aint got a clue about maths :S

Answer #7

ok here goes my really bad explanation: find the middle of the group e.g. 11-20 group would be..16? do that with the rest then put it in a seperate box next to it then you need to times the frequency by the middle number of each group put in another box next to it and name fxm then you add that box together and divide by the ..middle group box

so it would be fxm/middle group that will give you your average (:

Answer #8

ok hold on…

3 men 11 years old to 20 so if i am right you add the 20 and 11 together which gives you 31 then you divide it by 3 so the average age will be 10.3 recurring…..

:S

Answer #9

no, you need to find the middle of the 11-20 years not add them otherwise you’re getting the next age range

Answer #10

How to find an average

lets say you had 7 numbers 3,7,9,12,15,16,22. What you need to do is add them all then divide them by 7. So the average of those numbers I named is 12.

Answer #11

you can’t do that with this because you dont have a precise frequency

Answer #12

then it would be 15.5, not 16 which i cant see being right :S

Answer #13

Easiest thing to do is just go to mymaths :L

Answer #14

narr i prefer to try and answer myself :p
