central tendency of grouped data- Mode
central tendency of grouped data- Mode
OBJECTIVES
Calculates the measures of central tendency of ungrouped
and grouped data.
(M7SP-IVf-g-1)
III. PROCEDURE
A. PREPARATION
Daily classroom routine
Checking of attendance
Checking of assignment
B. MOTIVATION
The teacher will post different kinds of balls.
What can you observe with the pictures I
posted?
Can you determine the ball that has most
number of frequencies?
C. PRESENTATION OF LESSON
At the end of the lesson you should be able to calculate the
measures of central tendency of ungrouped and grouped
data, specifically in finding the mode of grouped data using
a formula.
D. DISCUSSION
What is a mode?
MODAL CLASS- the class interval where the value with the
highest frequency occurs.
Formula of MODE:
Mo = L mo ( d 1+d
+
d
1
2)
i
Where:
Lmo is the lower limit of the modal class
d 1 is the difference between the frequency of the modal class and that
of the immediately preceding lower class
d 2 is the difference between the frequency of the modal class and that
of the immediately following higher class
i is the size of the class interval
Illustrative example:
consider the distribution of weekly wages of factory
workers in Matina Garments Factory.
What is the highest value in the distribution?
What is the modal class?
31−24
Mo= 1319.5 + [ ] 20
( 31−24 )+(31−12)
7
= 1319.5 + [ (7+19) ] 20
7
= 1319.5 + ( 26 ) 20
= 1319.5 + (0.269) 20
= 1319.5 + 5.38
= 1324.88
F. GENERALIZATION
What is the formula of mode if we are going to solve for
the grouped data?
G. EVALUATION
Activity in the Application will serve as evaluation.
H. ASSIGNMENT
