Mean, Median, Mode

Measures of central tendency include the mean, median, and mode. The mean is the average value calculated by summing all values and dividing by the total number. The median is the middle value when values are arranged from lowest to highest. The mode is the most frequently occurring value. For grouped data, these measures can be calculated using formulas that take the class boundaries and frequencies into account.

MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCIES

Measures of Central Tendencies for Ungrouped Data


• descriptive measures that indicate where the center or the most
typical value of a set of data.
Mean
• is considered as the average value in common. It is calculated by
dividing the sum of the data by the total number of data.
Median
• is the average of the two middle values for collections with an even
number of values.
Mode
• is the element that occurs for the most number of times. Or it is the
most repeated element.

MEAN OF GROUPED DATA BY UNIT CODED DEVIATION
Another formula for computing the mean of grouped data is by
the process called coding or deviation method. Select a class mark
denoted by x’ as an assumed mean and mark its deviation by 0. The
values of d=0, +1, +2, +3 +4 and so on.

Formula: +.

Where:
= mean of grouped data
= assumed mean or class mark where d = 0
d = unit coded deviation, 0, +1, +2, +3 +4 and so on..
f = frequency
= sum of the products of frequency and unit coded deviation
N = total frequency
i = class interval
Solution: Place coded deviation d = 0 in any cell; then
multiply the frequency to the coded deviation, f(d).

  Median class is the class containing a cumulative frequency (<F)
equal to N/2 or next higher to N/2

Then; = = = 18.5

Let:
Lcb = lower limit of the class boundary of median class
Lcb = 19.5
= The cumulative frequency before the median class
= 17
fm = frequency of median class
fm = 7
i =5
Formula:

Mode for Grouped Data

Let:

f = frequency
I = class interval
Lcb = Lower limit of the class boundary of modal class
d1 = difference between the highest frequency and the
frequency just above it
D2 = difference between the highest frequency and the
frequency just above it

*Modal Class is the class with the highest frequency
