Measures of Central Tendency

1. Determine the mean age of the students.

Mean = 19+21+18+17+16+21+20+18+19+19
10
= 188 /10
= 18.8 or 19
The mean age of the students is 19 years old.

2. Determine the mean score of the students.

Mean = 93+65+87+56+99+76+58+87+76+93+68+69
12
= 927 / 12
= 77.25

3. Determine his weighted mean grade.

Weighted Mean = Ʃwx / Ʃw = 49.5 / 22


= 2.25 Grade

Average

Average = 2.5 + 1.5 + 2.25 + 3.0 + 2.25 + 2.5


6
= 14 / 6
= 2.3 or 2.25

2 73 + 75 = 148/2 = 74 2 x 74 = 148
2+6=8 76 + 78 = 154/2 = 77 6 x 77 = 462
8 + 12 = 20 79 + 81 = 160/2 = 80 12 x 80 = 980
20 + 16 = 36 82 + 84 = 166/2 = 83 16 x 83 = 1328
36 + 18 = 54 85 + 87 = 172/2 = 86 18 x 86 = 1548
54 + 39 = 93 88 + 90 = 178/2 = 89 39 x 89 = 3471
93 + 36 = 129 91 + 93 = 184/2 = 92 36 x 92 = 3312
129 + 21 = 150 94 + 96 = 190/2 = 95 21 x 95 = 1995
150 + 5 = 155 97 + 99 = 196/2 = 98 5 x 98 = 490

Mean = Ʃfx / Ʃf

= 88. 47 or 88.5

B. Median

Ʃf / 2 = 155 / 2 = 77.5

The Median Class is 88 – 90


C=3

L = 87.5

Fm = 39

CFbm = 54

Median = L + C (Ʃf/2 - CFbm)


Fm
= 87.5 + 3 (77.5 – 54)
39

= 87.5 + 3 (0.6)

= 87.5 + 1.8

Median = 89.3

C. Mode

Modal Class 88 – 90

C=3

L = 87.5

∆1 = 39 -18 = 21

∆2 = 39 – 36 = 3

Mode = L + C (∆1 / ∆1 + ∆2)

= 87.5 + 3 (21/ 21 + 3)

= 87.5 + 3 (0.87)

= 87.5 + 2.6

Mode = 90.1 or 90
