• The Mean – is the most popular among the measures of central tendency for it is
widely used. It is also called the average of a set of n numbers and it is the sum of all
numbers divided by n.

= 86.2
The average grade of ten students in Mathematics 6 is 86.2.
Example 2:
The ages of five contestants in a Statistics Quiz Bee are the following: 18, 17,
18, 19, and 18. Find their average age.

= 18
Thus, the average age of five contestants is 18.
The Weighted Mean
The weighted mean of the n numbers with the respective assigned weights is
=
where:
Σ(x∙w) – is the sum of the products formed by multiplying each
number by its assigned weight,
Σw – is the sum of all weights.
Example 4:
Jo-Ann wants to determine the average grade of Angeline in
Filipino, Mathematics, English, P.E and Science which received a
corresponding grade of 88, 95, 98, 94 and 86 with weights of 1.3, 1.9, 1.5,
1.1 and 1.6 respectively. What is Angeline’s average grade?
Grades: 88, 95, 98, 94 and 86
Weights: 1.3, 1.9, 1.5, 1.1, 1.6
