① This GeoGebra applet demonstrates step-by-step estimation of the mean and standard deviation for grouped data, simulating the workflow of a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator. ② Core mathematical concepts include arithmetic mean, standard deviation, class midpoints, frequency weighting, and cumulative frequency for grouped frequency distributions. ③ Construction highlights: uses GeoGebra commands such as Element, Sequence, Max, Min, If, Sum, Segment, Append, and Text to build the data table and step-by-step calculation panels; objects like Data, Cls0, UB, LB, CW, MdPtSq, FrqSq define class boundaries, class width, midpoints, and frequency sequences. ④ Suitable for high school or introductory college statistics courses, this applet helps students visualize the calculation process and serves as an interactive teaching or self-study tool.
