Hi,

I have this table (BTW, published by FBI and representing age
distribution of the WTC tragedy victims):

	"LABEL" "FREQ" "MIDPOINT"
	"1" "Infant (under 1)"   0
	"2" "1 to 4"   5 
	"3" "5 to 8"   1
	"4" "9 to 12"   3
	"5" "13 to 16"   0
	"6" "17 to 19"   3
	"7" "20 to 24" 117
	"8" "25 to 29" 341
	"9" "30 to 34" 503
	"10" "35 to 39" 578
	"11" "40 to 44" 510
	"12" "45 to 49" 369
	"13" "50 to 54" 272
	"14" "55 to 59" 177
	"15" "60 to 64"  79
	"16" "65 to 69"  29
	"17" "70 to 74"  15
	"18" "75 and over"  11
	"19" "Unknown" NA

Are there any tools to work with grouped frequencies (i.e.,
median, mean, chi-square test of normality of distribution) or do
I have to calculate them ``by hand''?

Thanks for any answer,

	Matej
