 2. Unlocking Content Vocabulary
• Measures of Central Tendency are a single value that attempts to describe
a set of data by identifying the central position within that set of data. As
such, measures of central tendency are sometimes called measures of
central location.
• Mean is the sum of the data values divided by the number of values. This
is also referred to as the arithmetic mean. The mean is the balance point
of a distribution.
• Median is the number that falls in the middle position once the data has
been organized from smallest to largest or largest to smallest.
• Mode is the value that appears most frequently in the set of data.

C. Developing and DAYS 2-3

Deepening 1. Explicitation
Understanding a. In finding the mean of ungrouped data, we find the sum of values (x) divided
by the number of values in the data set represented by N. We use the
formula:
∑ 𝑥
𝑥=
𝑁
𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒: 𝑥 = 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛
∑ 𝑥 = 𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠
𝑁 = 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠

Note: The symbol Σ (sigma) is a Greek letter used to indicate summation.

b. In finding the median of ungrouped data, we arranged the values of the data
set in either increasing or decreasing order and find the middle score. If there
𝑥 +𝑥
are two middle values, we add those and divide it by 2 or 1 2 where 𝑥1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥2
2
are the two middle values.

c. In finding the mode, select the value that appears most often in the data set.
If two or more values appear the same number of times, then each of the
values is a mode. However, if all scores appear the same number of times,
then the set of data has no mode.

Solution:

Hence, the average number of spelling errors is 3.63.

b. median
Let’s try rearranging the values in decreasing order:
6, 6, 5, 4, 5, 0, 1, 2
since there are two middle values, we add them and divide it by two

= 4.5 , then the median is 4.5.

c. mode
Since 5 and 6 occur the same number of times in the data set, then the
mode is both 5 and 6. The data set is bimodal. Most students commit 5
or 6 spelling errors.

Example 3: Six members of the class list the number of brothers and sisters they
have. These six numbers, in ascending order are 2, 0, 0, 4, 2, and 4. Compute
for the measures of central tendencies.
Solution:
2+0+0+4+2+4 12
a. mean 𝑥 = 6
= 6 =𝟐
Hence, the average number of brothers and sisters is 2.

b. median
By rearranging the values in increasing order:
0, 0, 2, 2, 4, 4
since there are two middle values, we add them and divide it by two
2+2
2
= 2 , then the median is 2.

c. mode
Since all values occur the same number of times, then the data set has
no mode.

Example 4: The weights in kilograms of the runners in the annual district level
marathon are the following:
90.7, 89.5, 93.4, 92.1, 82.6, 92.5, 94.4, 89.5, 86.7, 90.4, 94.4, 97.1, 89.5
Find the mean, median and mode.
Solution:
90.7+89.5+93.4+92.1+82.6+92.5+94.4+89.5+86.7+90.4+97.1+89.5
a. mean 𝑥 =
13
1182.8
= 13
= 𝟗𝟎. 𝟗𝟖
Hence, the average weight of runners is 90.98 kg.

b. median
By rearranging the values in increasing order:
82.6, 86.7, 89.5, 89.5, 89.5, 90.4, 90.7, 92.1, 92.5, 93.4, 94.4, 94.4, 97.1
since the middle value is the median, the median is 90.7.

c. mode
Since 89.5 is the most repeated value in the data set, then the mode is
89.5 i.e. the most occurring weight of the runners is 94.4 kg.
