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.

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

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:

The class mark data can be stored in variable S, while the frequency count
can be stored in variable W, as follows:
