MEASURE OF

CENTRAL TENDENCY
(UNGROUPED)
MEAN, MEDIAN,
AND MODE
Measure of Central
Tendency
is a measure that represents the
center of a data set. The mean,
median, and mode are measures
of central tendency.
Mean
The average score is also referred to as the
mean. The mean of a data set is the sum of the
data divided by the number of data values. It is
denoted by “𝑥′′.
ҧ
It is the most reliable measure of central
tendency, because in computing the mean,
every observation or data is considered.
FORMULA FOR MEAN

Where:
x ̅ = mean
x = a raw score in series of measures
∑x = sum of all measures
n = number of measures
Example 1
Seven students got a
score of 4, 13, 11, 15, 5,
5, 3, in their summative
exam. Find the mean
of the given data.

Median
It is a point in the distribution such that 50%
of the scores or values are below it. It is not
affected by extreme values or outliers;
therefore, it is best for asymmetrical
distributions. It is denoted by ”𝑥̃”.
Step for Getting the Median
Step 1: Arrange the given values in ascending
order.
Step 2: Count the number of observations in the given set
of data. It is denoted by ‘’n’’
Step 3: If n is odd, there a exact value of media
𝑛+1
Step 3.1: If n is even, use the LOCATOR to find the
2
place of the median, then get their sum and divide by 2.

The heights (in cm) of 11 players of a team are as follows: 173, 158, 158, 159,
160, 160, 165, 166, 171, 170, 163.
Step 1: Arrange the data in ascending or descending order.

Mode
Mode is the most frequent data in the
distribution. It is known as the measure of
popularity because it depends on the highest
frequency.
Types of Mode
Unimodal Mode is a set of data with only one mode.
Bimodal mode is a set of data that has two modes.
Trimodal mode is a set of data that has three modes.
Multimodal mode is a set of data that contains four
or more modalities.

If each number in the set occurs at the same time it will be


recognize as No Mode.
