    The mean height is calculated as follows: Mean = Σ(Midpoint x Frequency) / Total Frequency = (10 x 4) + (15 x 10) + (25 x 15) + (35 x 25) + (45 x 30) + (55 x 35) + (65 x 45) + (75 x 65) / 225 = 39.11 Therefore, the mean height is 39.11

    MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY

     Measures of central tendency are statistical measures


    which describe the position of a distribution.
     They are also called statistics of location, and are the
    complement of statistics of dispersion, which provide
    information concerning the variance or distribution of
    observations.
     In the univariate context, the mean, median and mode
    are the most commonly used measures of central
    tendency.
    Measures of Central
    Tendency

     A measure of central tendency or averages is a


    descriptive statistic that describes the average, or
    typical value of a set of scores
     There are three common measures of central
    tendency:

     The mode
     The median
     The mean
    The following are the most important types of
    averages (measures of central tendency) :

    • Arithmetic mean
    • Median
    • Mode
    • Geometric Mean
    • Harmonic Mean
    Measures of central tendency

     The measures of central tendency is generally called as


    average.
     Measures of central tendency describes the
    characteristics of the entire data.
     It reduces the complexity of data and makes them to
    compare easily.

    That is a simple figure which is used to describe the


    series which must be a REPRESENTATIVE number. It is
    generally called as “ a measure of central tendency or the
    average “
    Arithmetic Mean
    Arithmetic mean, commonly called(mean) is
    the total of the values of the items divided by their
    number
    Data – Type – I (Individual Observations or Raw
    Data)

    Arithmetic mean=
    Where,
    N=Total number of items.
    Ʃx =Total sum of all the items
    Data – Type – II (Discrete Series)

    Arithmetic mean =
    Where,
    Ʃfx = sum of the product of the class values.
    N = Ʃf = sum of all the frequencies
    Data – Type – III (Continuous Series)

    Arithmetic Mean

    Where,

    m=midpoint=(lower boundary + upper


    boundary)/2

    N=Ʃf=sum of all the frequencies


    Data – Type – I (Individual Observations or
    Raw Data)

    1. Find the Arithmetic Mean of the marks taken


    by students 20, 30, 40, 50, 50, 60, 70, 80,
    90, 90.
    Solution:
    Given X= 20, 30, 40, 50, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 90.

    Arithmetic Mean=

    Here N=10
    Ʃx=20+30+……+90+90=580
    Therefore A.M=

    Thus A.M=58 marks.


    2.The expenditure of 10 families in thousands
    of rupees are given below:
    Person A B C D E F G H I J
    Expenditure 30 70 10 75 500 8 42 250 40 36

    Calculate the Arithmetic Mean


    3. The monthly income of 12 families in a
    town are given below:
    S.No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
    Income 280 180 96 98 104 85 80 94 100 75 600 200

    Calculate the Arithmetic Mean.


    Data – Type – II (Discrete Series)

    1. Calculate the mean number of persons per


    house for the given data

    No. of persons 2 3 4 5 6 Total


    per house

    No. of houses 10 25 30 25 10 100


    Solution:
    X f fx
    2 10 20
    3 25 75
    4 30 120
    5 25 125
    6 10 60
    Ʃf=N=100 Ʃfx=400
    Now, A.M =

    Thus A.M= 4 persons per house


    2. Calculate the arithmetic mean

    40-50 12 45 540
    50-60 15 55 825
    60-70 6 65 390
    70-80 4 75 300
    Ʃf=N=50 Ʃfm=
    2460
    Now,

    Mean=

    Thus Mean= 49.2 marks
