Data Management
PRESENTATION OF DATA
This refers to the organization of data into tables,
graphs or charts, so that logical and statistical conclusions
can be derived from the collected measurements.
For example, a nationwide travel agency offers special
rates for package tours during summer. To economize
spending for the advertisement only certain age group of
people will be sent brochures for attraction. The agency
gets to previous passenger customers from its files and
groups them according to ages. Only those who are groups
with least people are sent brochures.
The following are the ages of the previous
customers:

Note on Odd or Even Sample Sizes
If the sample size is an odd number then the location point will produce a median that is
an observed value. If the sample size is an even number, then the location will require
one to take the mean of two numbers to calculate the median. The result may or may
not be an observed value as the example below illustrates.
The mode is the value that occurs most
often in the data. It is important to note
that there may be more than one mode in
the data set.
Example 1-5: Test Scores
Consider the aptitude test scores of ten
children below:
95, 78, 69, 91, 82, 76, 76, 86, 88, 80
The mean for grouped data
Scores f x d fd
65-69 2 67 -3 -6
70-74 8 72 -2 -16
75-79 10 77 -1 -10
80-84 9 82 𝑥0 0 0
85-89 7 87 1 7
90-94 2 92 2 4
95-99 2 97 3 6
n=40 𝑓𝑑 = −15
*+ = 82+5 = 80.125
The Median for a grouped data is
= .c
Where
denotes the lower boundary of the class
containing the median;
in all classes immediately preceding the class
containing the median;
requency in the class containing the median; and c,
width of the class.

Thus the Median

= 40.50 + . 10

The Mode for grouped data
The mode is the most frequently
occurring score in the grouped data. It is
used with scores from a nominal
variable.
+c
Compute the mode of Aling Miling’s
store in a given month with the following
frequency distribution.
Sales Number of days(f)
1,000-1999 2
2,000-2,999 3
3,000-3,999 6

5,000-5,999 8 modal class
6,000-6,999 2
7,000-7,999 2
n=30
Solution. The modal class is the interval
5,000-5,999. With =8, =7,= 2, then the
mode is
