Lesson 3: Descriptive Statistics b.

Weighted Mean

MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY  Take into consideration the proper weights assigned to the observed values
according to importance.
 The Measure of Central Tendency is the point about which the scores tend to
cluster.
 It is a single number that represents the general level of performance of a group.
 It is the center of concentration of scores in any set of data. 
 where x = items/scores
 Determines a numerical value in the central region of a distribution of scores.
n = number of items
1. Mean
c. Mean for Simple Frequency Distribution
Read "bar x," is the average of the set of data. It is the center of gravity of a
distribution.

2. Median

Read tilde "x" is a positional value. It is the "midpoint of the distribution when data are  where f = frequency
ranked according to size. x = items/scores
n = number of items
3. Mode
2. Median
Read "caret x," is a "frequency value." It is the value that occurs most frequently Step in finding the media:
4. Midrange is the value midway between the highest score and the lowest score. Step 1: Arrange the data is ascending or descending order.

Step 2: Solve for the location of the median (modal number) using the formula
Measure of Central Tendency for Ungrouped Data = (𝑛+1)/2
1. Mean Step 3. If n is even the median is the average of the two middle scores.
a. Simple Mean or Unweighted Mean 3. Mode
 Take into consideration the item values without regard to their relative importance.  It is the value with the largest frequency.
 It is the value that occurs most frequently in the distribution.

Midrange

 where x = items/scores
n = number of items
Measure of Central Tendency for Grouped Data

1. Mean 3. Mode

a. Long Method



 where 〖 𝐿𝐿〗_𝑟 = Lower Real Limit
 where f = frequency
〖𝑑𝑓〗_1 = difference between the highest frequency and the frequency of
x = class marks
the interval below it
n = number of samples
〖𝑑𝑓〗_2 = difference between the highest frequency and the frequency of
b. Short Method or Assumed Mean Method the interval above it
w = class width
 Assumed Mean 𝒙_𝟎 – is the class mark of the class interval near the center of the
a. True Mode
distribution or the class mark of the interval with the highest frequency.

 b. Crude Mode – is the midpoint of the class interval with the highest frequency.
 where 𝑥_0 = assumed mean
f = frequency
n = sample size
d = decoded value 
w = class width

2. Median


 where 〖𝐿𝐿〗_𝑟 = Lower Real Limit
f ≤ = cumulative less than frequency
f = frequency
n = sample
w = class width
