What does $\sum x$ mean??

What is the formula for mean for frequency data??
$$ \bar{x} = \frac{\sum f x}{\sum f} $$

How can you deal with intervals for frequency tables??
Use the midpoint of the interval.
How could you represent $0 \leq h < 0.5$??
$0.25$
If the mean of class $A$ is $62$ and the mean of class $B$ is $75$, how could you calculate the combined mean??
$$ \frac{20 \times 62 + 30 \times 75}{20 + 30} $$
Finding the combined mean is a special case of??
