Lesson Plan in Measures of Central Tendency of Ungrouped Data

May 29, 2018

l. Objectives

At the end of the discussion, the students will be able to:

a) define the measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode)

using ungrouped data;
b) identify the mean, median and mode of ungrouped data through
examples; and
c) solve problems in measures of central tendency using ungrouped data.

3. Classroom Management
4. Checking of Attendance

IV- Lesson Proper

A. Motivation
 The teacher will sing the statistics song through visual aids.

B. Review
 The teacher will call random students to ask question about their
previous topic.

C. Activity
  The teacher will group the students into four groups.
 Let the students answer the activity sheet given by the teacher for
10 minutes.
 After the given time, the teacher will select one group to present
their work in the class using calculator. See the activity sheet
attachment.

D. Analysis

The students will answer the following questions:

1. How do you define mean, median and mode?
2. How do you identify the mode of the problems using ungrouped
data?
3. How do you solve the mean and median of ungrouped data?

E. Abstraction

 The teacher will present the concepts about the measures of

central tendency of ungrouped data.

 Mean
 defined as the average value of the data. It is the value
that is representative of all the values in the data set.
 This can also written as:
X = X1 + X2 + X3……Xn
where, X denotes the mean of the data

15
o 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 1+2+3+4+5 = 15 = 3 is the mean
5

 Median – defined as the mid value of the data set. Median of

ungrouped data is determined by arranging the given numbers in
ascending order and then selecting exactly middle value.

n1+n 2
When n is even: Median =
2

Examples:

a) 5, 4, 7, 9, 13

Arrange the value of the data set

4, 5, 7, 9, 13
 7 is the median if the observation is odd.

b) 7,9, 13, 15, 18, 21

Median= 13+15
2

14 is the median if the observation is even because you will add

the two middle values then divided by 2.

 Mode – is the measure or value which occurs most frequently in a

set of data. It is the value with the greatest frequency.

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 measure appears the same number of
times, then each of these values is a mode.

Example:

a.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 no mode

b. 2, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9 2 and 8 is the mode

 Afterwards, the teacher will ask the students the following question:
 In what ways will you apply the mean, median and mode in
your daily life?

F. Application
 The teacher will give a board work about Measures of Central
Tendency of Ungrouped Data.
Direction: Find the mean, median and mode for the following
ungrouped data.

1. 12, 2, 16, 8, 14, 10, 6

2. 7, 9, 3, 4, 1, 8, 1, 1

3. 6, 5, 5, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
IV. Evaluation

 The teacher will let the students answer the following question.
Direction: In a ½ crosswise, solve the following problems of
ungrouped data.

1. Mark operates technology Titans, a Website Sew ice that employs

8 people. Find the mean age of his workers if the ages of the
employees are as follows:

24, 25, 31, 50, 53, 66, 78

2. The library logbook shows that 58, 60, 54, 35, 60, and 97 books,
respectively were borrowed from Monday to Friday last week. Solve the
mean and mode.

V. Assignment

Direction: In a ½ crosswise, Research about the ff:

1. What are the measures of variability?

2. Give examples
