N
where
x = the summation of x (sum of the measures) and N = number of
values of x.
b. To find the median of a given set of data, take note of the
following:
1. arrange the data in either increasing or decreasing order;
2. locate the middle value. If the number of cases is odd, the
middle value is the median. If the number of cases is even, take
the arithmetic mean of the two middle measures.
c. To find the mode for a set of data:
1. select the measure that appears most often in the set;
2. if two or more measures appear the same number of times,
and the frequency they appear is greater than any other
measures, then each of these values is a mode;
3. if every measure appears the same number of times, then the
set of data has no mode.
C. Abstraction/ Generalization
Ask the class of the following questions:
a. What are the three measures of central tendency?
b. How do we find the value of the mean? the median? the mode?
The mean (also known as the arithmetic mean) is the most commonly used
measure of central position. It is the sum of measures divided by the
number of measures
25 in a33variable.

34as x (read as x bar).

The mode is the measure or value which occurs most frequently in a set of
data. It is the value with the greatest frequency.
D. Application
Find the mean, median, and mode of the following sets of data.
a. 29, 34, 37, 22, 38, 40
b. 5, 6, 7, 7, 9, 9, 8, 10, 14, 16, 20
IV. Assessment:
The scores of 20 students in a biology quiz are as follows. Solve for the
mean, median and mode.
V. Assignment/Agreement:
Contextualization. Ask the students to recall their grades for the 3 rd Grading
Period. Ask them to find the mean, the median and the mode and write their
answers in a 8x11 (short) bond paper.
