Calculating Mean of Group Data using Direct Method in Statistics

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the mean of grouped data using the direct method. It begins with an introduction to grouped data and the concept of mean as a measure of central tendency. The tutorial then presents a survey example involving the number of flowers in pots, explaining how to organize data into class intervals and calculate mid-values. It covers the calculation of frequency and the product of mid-values with frequency, leading to the application of the formula to find the mean. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps involved in the process.
