3. Use function

ΣLIST, once more, to calculate the denominator of s

w

:

4. Use the expression ANS(2)/ANS(1) to calculate the weighted average:

Thus, the weighted average of list S with weights in list W is s

w

= 2.2.

Statistics of grouped data

Grouped data is typically given by a table showing the frequency (w) of data in
data classes or bins. Each class or bin is represented by a class mark (s),
typically the midpoint of the class. An example of grouped data is shown next:

Note: ANS(1) refers to the most recent result (55), while ANS(2) refers to
the previous to last result (121).
