    MEASURES OF

    CENTRAL TENDENCY

    INTRODUCTION

    • These measures help summarize data and


    provide insights into its central or typical values,
    which can be crucial in various fields, including
    statistics, economics, and science.
    MEASURES OF
    CENTRAL
    TENDENCY
    - It is a number that represents
    the typical value in a collection of
    numbers. There are three familiar
    measures of central tendency the
    MEAN, the MEDIAN and the
    MODE.
    MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
    We will let n represent the number of data points in the distribution. Then!
    Mean = sum of all data points
    n
    (The mean is also known as the "average" or the "arithmetic average.")
    Median = "middle" data point
    (or average of two middle data points) when the data points are arranged in
    numerical order.
    Mode = the value that occurs most often (if there is such a value)
    MEAN
    The mean, often called the average, is calculated by adding up all the values in a dataset and dividing by the number
    of values. It's sensitive to extreme values (outliers).here's an example of how to calculate the mean (average) in a
    dataset:

    Suppose you have the following dataset representing the scores of students in a math exam:

    85, 92, 78, 88, 95

    To f i n d t h e m e a n :

    1. Add up all the values:

    85 + 92 + 78 + 88 + 95 = 438

    2. Count the number of values in the dataset, which is 5 in this case.

    3. Divide the sum by the number of values to calculate the mean:

    Mean = 438 / 5 = 87.6

    So, the mean score of the students in the math exam is 87.6.
    MEDIAN
    The median is the middle value in a dataset when it's sorted in ascending order. If there's an even
    number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values. It's less affected by outliers
    than the mean.

    Example 1:

    Sure, let's say we have a dataset of 7 ages: 25, 29, 31, 35, 40, 42, and 50. To find the median:

    First, arrange the data in ascending order: 25, 29, 31, 35, 40, 42, 50.

    Since there is an odd number of data points (7), the median is the middle value, which in this case
    is 35.

    So, the median age in this dataset is 35. It's the middle value that separates the lower half of the
    ages from the upper half.
    MEDIAN
    Example 2:

    Certainly, let's consider a dataset of 6 test scores: 72, 78, 85, 88, 92, and 95. To find the
    median:

    1. First, arrange the data in ascending order: 72, 78, 85, 88, 92, 95.

    2. Since there is an even number of data points (6), the median is the average of the two
    middle values. In this case, those values are 85 and 88.

    3. To find the median, add the two middle values together and divide by 2: (85 + 88) / 2 =
    173 / 2 = 86.5.

    So, the median test score in this dataset is 86.5. It's the average of the two middle values
    and represents the center of the data.
    MODE
    The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. There can be one mode
    (unimodal), more than one mode (multimodal), or no mode if all values are unique.

    Example:

    Certainly, let's consider a dataset of 10 exam scores: 88, 92, 88, 85, 92, 78, 88, 90, 85, and 92. To
    find the mode:

    Identify the number(s) that appear most frequently in the dataset.

    In this case, the numbers 88 and 92 both appear three times, which is more frequent than any other
    number in the dataset.

    So, the mode of this dataset is 88 and 92. It's bimodal because there are two modes, meaning these
    scores occur with the highest frequency in the dataset.
    MEAN, MEDIAN and MODE of
    GROUPED DATA
    Data which are arranged into a frequency distribution are called
    grouped data. When the number of elements is too large, it is best to
    compute for the measures of central tendencyand variability using the
    frequency distribution.
