Given the list of class marks S = {s
1
, s
2
, …, s
n
}, and the list of frequency
counts W = {w
1
, w
2
, …, w
n
}, the weighted average of the data in S with
weights W represents the mean value of the grouped data, that we call s, in
this context:

represents the total frequency count.
The mean value for the data in lists S and W, therefore, can be calculated
using the procedure outlined above for the weighted average, i.e.,
We’ll store this value into a variable called XBAR:
