When data are summarised into classes, their exact values are lost. There is no way of knowing whether the original observations were near the bottom of the class, the top of the class or evenly spread out. Assuming that all the observations that fall into a particular class take the midpoint value is a reasonable approximation. It is the maximum likelihood unbiased estimate. It also sets the variance within each class to 0.

it gives you the midpoint of the line segment you use the formula for
It is the middle of the class. e.g. 0<l<10 - class midpoint is 5 because it is the middle of the class. e.g. 25<t<50 - class midpoint is 37.5 because it is the middle of the class Midpoint = MIDDLE

It is the midpoint of the class interval. I.e let b=the highest number in the class, a = the lowest number in the class. The midpoint is (a+ 1/2(b-a)).

Crude Mode (Grouped data) is the midpoint of the class limit with the highest frequency. Therefore, in getting the Crude Mode, look for the highest frequency and look at it's class limit. Lastly, get he class limit's midpoint. The Class Limit's midpoint will be the Crude Mode (Grouped Data).

No, the midpoint is the result of adding the upper and lower limits in a class and dividing that by 2. Essentially the mid point is the average of the two limits.
