Arithmetic mean refers to the average amount in a given group of data. There are many ways to calculate arithmetic mean for grouped data like direct method where all the data are multiplied with their respective frequencies and then added up which are then divided by the summation of the frequencies or number of figures in the data in order to ascertain the mean.
