the procedure is shown in the following excel spreadsheet printout.
in this particular case, the sum of frequency data is 1 because we are dealing with frequency data being a percent of the total.
the procedure still requires you to divide by the sum of the frequency data because you will not always be dealing with frequency as a percent of the total.
in that case, the sum of the frequency data will be something other than 1.
the following excel printout shows you the same data with frequency as a percent rather than as a decimal equivalent of percent.
the sum of frequency data is now 100 rather than 1.
the following excel printout shows you the same data with frequency as 5 times the frequency as a percent rather than the frequency as a percent.
the sum of frequency data is now 500 rather than 100
in all cases, the weighted average and the weighted variance and the weighted standard deviation are all the same.
