Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

c. c. + . . . + x10

= 89 + 84 + 80 + 94 + 90

b. Motivation

Class the data from X1 to X10 are 85,

80, 88, 83, 87, 89, 84, 80, 94 and 90.
Arranging these in increasing
order, that is from least to greatest
80,80,83,84,85,87,88,89,90 and 94.
Class, what do you observe with
the data?
Yes,_____________ The data given are all number.

That’s right!

Class if I am going to use these

data 80, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 90 and 94 as
the math grades of 10 students. And aside
from adding these data with the use of
summation method, do you know that these
data can also be summarized into a single No, ma’am
number or single data?

B. Presentation
So be with me this morning class,
as I discuss to you about “Measures of “Measures of Central Tendency of
central Tendency (Ungrouped Data)”. Ungrouped Data”

Everybody read!

a. Statement of the aim

Class listen carefully because
after my discussion you will be asked to
define the mean, median and mode, find
the mean, median and mode of the given set
Yes, ma’am
of data and lastly, you will be asked to
describe the data in terms of the mean,
median, and mode.

Am I understood class?

C. Developmental Proper
Okay class there are three measures
of central tendency, first one is the mean.

Mean – is the most commonly used measure

of central tendency. It is used to describe a
set of data where the measures cluster or
concentrate at a point. It is found by adding
the values of the data and dividing by the
total number of values.

It is given with the formula

Where:
Ʃx = the summation of x or (the sum
of the measure)
N = number of the values of x

First example:
80, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90, 94

So from the formula given, let us now try to

analyze and then substitute the given
values to the given formula.

𝑥̅ = 86

Hence, the mean grade of the ten students

is 86.

Second example:
The five players of basketball team have the
scores of 10, 15, 20, 10, and 25.
Find the mean:

Ʃ𝑥̅

𝑥̅ = 16

Therefore, the mean score of five players of

basketball is equal to 16.

Do you understand class on how to find the Yes, ma’am

mean of the given data?
No, ma’am
Is there any question?

Okay let us proceed to the second measure

of central tendency.

Median – is the midpoint of the array. The

median will be either a specific value or will
fall between two values.
First example:

Using the same data above.

The math grades of ten students are 85, 80,
88, 83, 87, 89, 84, 80, 94, and 90.

Find the median.

Solution:

To find the median, we need to arrange first

the data in increasing order that is from least
to greatest or vice versa.

80, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90, 94

Since the middle point falls halfway between

85 and 87, so in order to get the median, we
need get the mean 0f these two values.

Median =

172
Median =

Median = 86

Therefore, the median of the given data is

86.

Second example:
10, 15, 20, 10, 25

Solution:

Arrange the data in increasing order, from

least to greatest or from greatest to least.
10, 10, 15, 20, 25
Median= 15

Third example:

Using the same formula.

The weights of nine boxing players are
recorded as follows (in pounds).

206,215,305,206,265,265,297,282,301

Now try to solve it in your notebook and then

I will be calling somebody to answer it on the
board.
Solution:
Arrange first the data in increasing order,
from least to greatest on vice versa.
206, 206, 215, 265, 282, 297, 301, 305

Median = 265

So do you understand class on how to find

the median of a set of data? Yes, ma’am

Is there any question? No, ma’am

Okay let us proceed to the next measure of

central tendency.

Mode- it is the value that occurs most often

in the data set. It is the value with the
greatest frequency. A data can have more
than one or none at all. To find the mode
for a set of data we are to consider the
following:
1.) Select the measure that appears most
often in the set.

2.) If two or more measures appear the same

number of times, 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.

First example:

Using the same data above.

80,80,83,84,85,87,88,89,90,94

Since 80 is the value that most often occur in

the given data, therefore 80 is the mode.

Second example:
206,206,215,265,265,282,297,301,305

So now I want you to solve or to get the mode 206, 206, 215, 265, 265, 282, 297, 301 305
of the given data.
The modes of the given data are 206 and 265,
since these are the values that most often
occur in the given data.

Very good!

Class, is everything clear? Yes, Ma’am

Do you have question? None, Ma’am

D. Values Integration

Class a while ago, we discuss about on how

to measure central tendency of ungrouped
data. From the word central class, we can
associate it with the word center.
How will you define the word center?

Yes,___________ It is the middle part of everything around

us.
That’s right!

Now, how about in your real life situation

class, who is the center of your life?
The center of my life is my family.
Yes,___________

Another idea?
The center of my life is my mother.
Yes,___________

Very good!

How about God, did you also make Him as Yes, ma’am
the center of your life?

Why did you make God as the center of

your life? I always make God as the center of my life
Yes,___________ because I know ma’am with god nothing is
impossible.

Exactly!

So class, whoever is the center of our life we

should not forget God because He is the
source of everything. Whatever decision or
thing we will make, we should not forget
God because without Him we are nothing.
