PROCEDURE
Review You have also learned how to use appropriate graphs to represent organized data:
pie chart, bar graph, line graph, histogram, and ogive. Tables and graphs are
useful in describing sets of data.
• Pie chart - is a circle that is divided into sectors according to the
percentage of frequencies in each class of the distribution.
• Bar graph - is a graph that presents data by using vertical or horizontal
bars to represent the frequencies of the classes.
• Line graph - is a graph that displays data by using lines that connect
points plotted for the frequencies at the midpoint of the classes.
• Histogram - is a graph that presents data by using vertical bars to
represent the frequencies of the classes.
• Ogive - is a graph that represents the cumulative frequencies for the
classes in a frequency.

Lesson Introduction Measures of Central Tendency

Definition: A measure of central tendency is a descriptive measure which
indicates the center of a distribution. It is a measure of average or the most
typical value.
There are three measures of central tendency which are commonly used.
These are the mean, median, and mode.
For the mean, we use symbol 𝑥 read as “x-bar”, for the median, 𝑥̃ read as “x-
tilde”, and for the mode, 𝑥̂ read as “x-hat”.
A. Measures of Central Tendency of Ungrouped Data
1. Mean
Mean, often called the average, 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. This is also referred to
as the arithmetic mean.

Basically, the mean of ungrouped data can be illustrated as:

The procedures on how to compute for the mean of ungrouped data:

Step 1: Find the sum of all the score/values.
Step 2. Divide the sum and the number of values.
Example 1. The five players of basketball team have the scores of 10, 15,
20, 10, and 25. What is the average score of five players?

Therefore, the average scores of five players is 16.

Example 2. Coco got the following scores in his quizzes in Math. Find the
mean of the scores 88, 87, 91, 89, 93, 98, and 96.

Therefore, the mean score of Coco in his quizzes in Math is 91.71.

Weighted Mean
There are times when values in a set of data do not have the same weight.
How do we get the mean of the data set?
In this case, we will get the weighted mean.
Weighted Mean is an average computed by giving different weights to some of
the individual values. If all the weights are equal, then the weighted mean is the
same as the arithmetic mean.
The formula to find the weighted mean:

∑XW = sum of the products of the values and the corresponding weights
Σ𝑊 – sum of the weights
Example 3. Ten students were asked about their ages. The following are the
results. Find the mean age of the students.
The table shows that there 2 students whose
ages are 12, there 4 students whose ages are 13
3 students whose ages are 14, and there is only 1
student whose age is 15.

Solution:
Find the products of X and W. 12(2) = 24; 13(4) = 54; 14(3) = 42; 15(1) = 15

2.Median
Median is the middlemost value of a data set when the values are arranged
in an array. It is the value in the distribution which divides an arranged
increasing or decreasing distribution into two equal parts. It is use when we want
to know the value in which half of the scores are more extreme and half are less
extreme.

Median for odd sample: The median is the middle number when the data are
arranged in order.
Median for even sample: When there are even samples, the median is the average
of the two middle numbers.
Example 1: The number of books borrowed in the library from Monday to
Friday last week were 55, 37, 60, 75, and 48. What is the median?
Solution: Arrange the number of books borrowed in increasing order and then
find the middlemost number: 37, 48, 55, 60, 75. Therefore, the median is 55.
Example 2: In a survey of small businesses in Tondo, 10 bakeries report the
following number of employees: 20, 12, 19, 11, 15, 17, 9, 14, 18, 12. Find
the median.
Solution: Arrange the number of employees in increasing order: 9, 11, 12, 12, 14,
15, 17, 18, 19, 20 Since the number of measures is even, the median is the
average of the two middle scores.

3.Mode
Mode is the measure or value which occurs most frequently in a set of data. It
is the value with the greatest frequency.

• If the data set has only one value of the mode, the data set is said to be
unimodal. • If the data set has two values of the mode, the data set is said to be
bimodal.
• If the data set has more than two values of the mode, the data set is said to be
multimodal.
The procedures on how to compute for the mode of ungrouped data:
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.
Example 1. The following data: 18, 25, 20, 25, 23, 25, 32, 35 show the
number of students who were late in class for the last eight months of the
school year. Find the mode.
Solution: Since the value 25 occurs three times, the mode is 25. Moreover, the
data set is unimodal because there is only one mode.
Example 2. Maria got the following scores in her quizzes in English. Find
the mode of the scores 87, 92, 90, 89, 92, and 90.
Solution: Since the values 90 and 92 occur twice, the modes are 90 and 92. The
data set is said to be bimodal.
B. Measures of Central Tendency of Grouped Data
Grouped data are data or scores that are arranged in a frequency
distribution. When the number of items in a set of data is too big, items are
grouped for convenience.
1. Mean
To find the mean of grouped data using class marks, use the formula:

The procedures on how to compute for the mean of grouped data:

Step 1: Find the midpoint or classmark of each class.
¿+UL
Use the formula: X m = where: 𝐿𝐿 − 𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑡; 𝑈𝐿 − 𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑖t
2
Step 2: Multiply the frequency by the classmark for each class. Place the
product in column fx m.
Step 3: Find Σ fx m by adding all the entries in column fx m.
Step 4: Divide Σ fx m by the total frequency.

Example 1: Find the mean of 20 students in their 50-item quiz in Filipino.

2. Median
In computing for the median of grouped data, the following is used:
The procedures on how to compute for the median of the grouped data:
Step 1: Construct the lower boundaries and < 𝑐𝑓 column.
n
Step 2: Determine the median class by getting .

Step 3: Compute the median by using the formula 𝑥̃ = 𝑙𝑐𝑏 + 2

f mc
Example 1: Find the median of 20 students in their 50-item quiz in Filipino .

3. Mode
The modal class is the class limit with the highest frequency. To find the
mode of grouped data, use the formula:

𝑥̂ = 𝑙𝑐𝑏 +
( d1
)
d 1 +d 2
iwhere: 𝑥̂ – mode; 𝑙𝑐𝑏 − 𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑦; 𝑖 – 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑎l

d 1- is the difference between the frequencies of the modal

class and the next upper class.
d 2- is the difference between the frequencies of the modal
class and the next lower class
Example 1: Find the mode of 20 students in their 50-item Filipino quiz.

Note:
• This formula is applicable if the frequency distribution has only one class limit
with the highest frequency.
• If the frequency has two or more class limits with the highest frequency, the
mode is approximately given by the formula: Mode = 3(median) – 2(mean)

Remember A measure of central tendency is a single value that attempts to describe a

set of data by identifying the central position within that set of data.
The most commonly used measures of central tendency are the mean, median,
and mode.
Mean, also known as the average, 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.
Median is the middle value or term in a given set of data arrange according to
size or magnitude, either increasing or decreasing.
Mode is the measure or value which occurs most frequently in a set of data. It
is the value with the greatest frequency.
