Lesson Coverage 2
Measure of Central Tendency
A measure of central tendency is a
summary statistic that represents the center
point or typical value of a data set.
The measures of central tendency are
the mean, median, and mode.
Mean
◦Arithmetic Mean - the most common measure of
central tendency. It is simply the sum of the all
scores divided by the number of scores.

◦Weighted Mean – a variation of mean that assigns


weights to the individual scores before getting the
average.
Arithmetic Mean (𝑥)ҧ

σ𝑥
𝑥ҧ =
𝑛
Example:

𝑥4 𝑥1 𝑥7 𝑥5 𝑥6 𝑥3 𝑥2
Arithmetic Mean (𝑥)ҧ

𝑥4 + 𝑥1 + 𝑥7 + 𝑥5 + 𝑥6 + 𝑥3 + 𝑥2

7
Example: Consider the data set of the
ages of the seven players in a basketball
team. Solve for the measures of central
tendency.

24 22 21 20 21 25 21
24 22 21 20 21 25 21

24 + 22 + 21 + ⋯ + 21

Weighted Mean (𝒘𝑥)ҧ
𝑥4 𝑥1 𝑥7 𝑥5 𝑥6 𝑥3 𝑥2
× 𝑤4 × 𝑤1 × 𝑤7 × 𝑤5 × 𝑤6 × 𝑤3 × 𝑤2

𝑤4 𝑥4 + 𝑤1 𝑥1 + 𝑤7 𝑥7 + 𝑤5 𝑥5 + 𝑤6 𝑥6 + 𝑤3 𝑥3 + 𝑤2 𝑥2

𝒘𝟒 + 𝒘𝟏 + 𝒘𝟕 + 𝒘𝟓 + 𝒘𝟔 + 𝒘𝟑 + 𝒘𝟐
Example: Consider the data set of
the grades and credit units of a
certain student. Compute the
average.

Grades 1.5 1.4 2.0 1.7 1.9 1.2


Credit Units 5.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 2.0
Grades 1.5 1.4 2.0 1.7 1.9 1.2
Credit Units 5.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 2.0 19.0
Product 7.5 4.2 6.0 5.1 5.7 2.4 30.9

7.5 + 4.2 + 6.0 + ⋯ + 2.4


=
5.0 + 3.0 + 3.0 + ⋯ + 2.0
30.9
=
19.0
Median (𝑴𝒅)
◦ The median is the midpoint of a distribution: the
same number of scores is above the median as below
it. The data should be arranged in numerical order.

𝑛 + 1 where: 𝑛 is the total number of scores in the data set


loc (𝑀𝑑) = NOTE: The result is just the location.
2 You still have to find the value
Median (𝑴𝒅)
𝑥4 𝑥1 𝑥7 𝑥5 𝑥6 𝑥3 𝑥2

Note: Do not forget to arrange the


data set in numerical order
Median (𝑴𝒅)

𝑥1 𝑥2 𝑥3 𝑥4 𝑥5 𝑥6 𝑥7

Using the formula:


This suggests
𝑛+1 7+1 8 that the fourth
loc (𝑀𝑑) = = = = 4 value will be
2 2 2
the median
Median (𝑴𝒅)

𝑥1 𝑥2 𝑥3 𝑥4 𝑥5 𝑥6 𝑥7 𝑥8

Using the formula: This suggests


that the median
𝑛+18+1 9 is the average
loc (𝑀𝑑) = = = = 4.5 of the fourth
2 2 2 and the fifth
values
Example: Consider the data set of the
ages of the seven players in a basketball
team. What will be the median?
20 21 21 21 22 24 25
𝑴𝒅 = 𝟐𝟏

20 21 21 21 22 24 25 29

𝑴𝒅 = 𝟐𝟏. 𝟓
Example: Consider the data set of the
ages of the seven players in a basketball
team. What will be the median?
20 21 21 21 22 24 25
Using the formula:
This suggests that
𝑛+1 7+1 8 the median is the
loc (𝑀𝑑) = = = =4 fourth values which
2 2 2 is 21.
Mode (𝑴𝒐)
◦ the most frequently occurring value.
NOTE: Just identify the value that is occurring the most.
If the mode is just one number, it is unimodal.
If the mode are two numbers, they are bimodal.
If the mode are three numbers, they are trimodal.
If the mode are plenty, they are multimodal.
If there are no repeating numbers,
then the data set has NO MODE.
Mode (𝑴𝒐)

𝑥4 𝑥3 𝑥5 𝑥1 𝑥3 𝑥2 𝑥3 𝑥2

𝑴𝒐 = 𝒙𝟑
Mode (𝑴𝒐)

𝑥1 𝑥2 𝑥2 𝑥3 𝑥3 𝑥3 𝑥4 𝑥5

𝑴𝒐 = 𝒙𝟑
Example: Consider the data set of
the ages of the seven players in a
basketball team. Solve for the
measures of central tendency.

20 21 21 21 22 24 25

𝑴𝒐 = 𝟐𝟏
