 Statistics
● Introduction
● Measures of central tendency
● Relation between mean, median and mode
● Measures of dispersion
 Introduction
Statistics is all about studying the behavior of big data. In statistics we
define some parameters which help us to do that. So, here in this chapter
we will be studying about two such parameters namely “Central
tendency” & “Dispersion”.
 Measures of central
tendency
We are already acquainted with these measures. We normally study 3
measures of central tendency:

(a) Mean

(b) Median

(c) Mode
Mean:
As such finding mean is very simple

(a)

(b)

Note
For class wise data (i.e. continuous data), we take mid points of
classes as xi
(a) Mean of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 is

(b) Mean of is

(c) Mean of is

So, finding mean is never a challenge

Now, let’s do some examples on mean
 Question!

mean of his runs in first 3 matches is 7, then find mean of
his runs in remaining matches.

 Question!

Q Mean of 100 items is 49. It was discovered that three items

which should have been 60, 70 and 80 were wrongly read
as 40, 20 and 50, respectively. The correct mean is

 Question!

Q Mean of 100 items is 49. It was discovered that three items

which should have been 60, 70 and 80 were wrongly read
as 40, 20 and 50, respectively. The correct mean is

A 48

C 50

D 80
Solution :
Sum of 100 items = 49 × 100 = 4900
Sum of items added = 60 + 70 + 80 = 210
Sum of items replaced = 40 + 20 + 50 = 110
New sum = 4900 − 110 + 210 = 5000

Median:

(i) Median of an individual series:

Step 1: Arrange the data in ascending or descending order.

Step 2: (i) If n is odd, then

Median = value of the middle term

C 72

D None of these
Solution :
(ii) Median of a discrete series:

Step 1: Arrange the values of the variate in ascending or descending

order
Step 2: Prepare a cumulative frequency table
Step 3: Median is the observation whose cumulative frequency is equal
to or just greater than N/2, where N is sum of frequencies.
(iii) Median of a continuous series:

Step 1: Prepare the cumulative frequency table

Step 2: Find the median class, i.e. the class whose cumulative
frequency is equal or just greater than (N/2)
Step 3: The median value is given by the formula
Where
l = lower limit of the median class
N = total frequency
f = frequency of the median class
h = width of the median class
Cf = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class
Let’s do an example on finding median of continuous data, that is the only
case where finding median is sometimes challenging

 Question!

Q Consider the following frequency distribution:

Class 0-6 6-12 12-18 18-24 24-30
Frequency a b 12 9 5

If mean and median = 14, then the value (a − b)2 is

equal to______.

Ans: 4 JEE Main 22 July, 2021 - Shift 1

Solution :

Class Frequency xi fi xi

0-6 a 3 3a

6-12 b 9 9b
12-18 12 15 180
18-24 9 21 189
24-30 5 27 135

N = (26+ a +b) (504 + 3a + 9b)

Solution :
Mode:
The mode is that value in a series of observations which occurs with
greatest frequency. In case of individual series, the mode is the value
which occurs more frequently.
 Relation between
Mean, Median and Mode

3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean

 Question!

Q In a moderately skewed distribution the values of mean and

median are 5 and 6, respectively. The value of mode in such
a situation is approximately equal to

A 8

B 11

C 16

D None of these
 Question!

Q In a moderately skewed distribution the values of mean and

median are 5 and 6, respectively. The value of mode in such
a situation is approximately equal to

A 8

B 11

C 16

D None of these
Solution :

Given that, mean = 5, median = 6

For a moderately skewed distribution, we have
Mode = 3 median − 2 mean
⇒ Mode = 3(6) − 2(5) = 8
Well, with that measures of Central Tendency are all done
Consider scores of two batsmen in three matches

Batsman A : 0, 150, 0

Batsman B : 48, 50, 52

Try to observe average score of both is same i.e. 50, but it’s very evident
that they have completely different playing styles. That thing which is
making you think like that is “dispersion”. So, to select a batsman from
these two batsmen, mean alone is not giving complete indication of
nature of player, “dispersion” together with “mean” tells you more about
the batting style & hence facilitates better selection.
Measures of dispersion
 Measures of dispersion
We primarily have 5 measures of dispersion, namely
(1) Mean deviation about
(a) Mean
(b) Median

(c) Any given number

(2) Standard deviation
(3) Variance
(4) Range
(5) Coefficient of variation
Lets pick them one by one
Mean deviation:
Mean deviation:
Mean deviation about any number ‘A’ is:

(a)

(b)

For mean deviation about “Mean” we take in place of A

For mean deviation about “Median” we take median ‘M’ in place of A
