 3 Measures

Mean
Median
Mode
 First Measure

Mean
The most commonly used of measures 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 by the total number of
values.
 Mean Formula

σ𝑋
𝑋ത =
𝑁
 Mean Example

First example:
The Math scores of 10 students are 85, 80, 88, 84, 87,
89, 83, 80, 94, and 90.

Ans: Hence, the mean grade of the 10 students is 86.

 Mean Example

Second example

The five players of basketball team have the scores of 10,

15, 20, 10, and 25.

Ans: Therefore, the mean score of the five players of basketball team is 16.
 Second Measure

Median
Is the midpoint of an array. The
median will be either a specific value or will
fall between two values.
 Median Example

First example
The five players of basketball team have the score of 10,
15, 20, 10, and 25.

Arange: 10, 10, 15, 20, 25

In which value does the middle point falls?
Ans: 15
 Median Example

Second example
The Math grades of 10 students are 80, 85, 88, 84, 87, 89,
83, 80, 90 and 94.
Who can arrange it in increasing order?
Arrange: 80, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90, 94
Median: Md = 86
 Median Example

Third example
The weight of eight boxing players are recorded as follows
(in pounds); 206, 215, 206, 305, 282, 301, 301, 266.
Solve it in your notebook and somebody will solve it on the board.
Arrange: 206, 206, 215, 266, 282, 301, 301, 305
Median: Md = 274
 Third Measure

Mode
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.
 Mode Conditions

To find the mode of a set of data, we are to consider the following:

1) Select the measure that appears the most often
Example
The scores of 10 students in their pre-test and post-test are 22,
23, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 23, 24, and 27.
Which score appears the most often in the given set?
Therefore, 23 is the mode of the given set.
 Mode Conditions

2) If two or more measures appear the same number of times, then each of the
value is a mode.
Example
The weights of eight boxing players are recorded as follows (in
pounds);206, 215, 206, 305, 282, 301, 301, 266
What value appears the same number of times in the given set of
data?
Therefore, the mode of the given set of data is 206 and 301.
 Mode Conditions

3) If every measure appears the same number of times, then the set of data has no mode.
Example
In the MTAP competition, the 10 participants have the
scores of 21, 19, 20, 20, 23, 30, 23, 30, 21, and 19.

What value appears the same number of times in the given set?
The given set of data has no more.
 Evaluation

data. Choose the letter of the correct answer. Place your answer on one-fourth sheet of pad
paper.
