Introduction and Focus Questions
Have you ever wondered why a certain size of shoe or brand of shirt is made more available than other sizes?
Have you ever asked yourself why a certain basketball player gets more playing time than the rest of his team mates?
Have you ever thought of comparing your academic performance with your classmates? Have you ever wondered what score you need for each subject to qualify for honors? Have you at certain time asked yourself how norms and standards are made?

The Situation…
You are one of the winners in a contest where the prizes are gift certificates from the famous stores in the city. The sponsors are the following:
BENCHPENSHOPPEFOLDED & HUNGSM DEPARTMENT STORE
You are to choose only one store. Which among the four stores will you choose?

The Mode
The mode is the value or element which occurs most frequently in a set of data. It is the value or element with the greatest frequency. Mode can be quantitative or qualitative. To find the mode for a set of data:1. select the measure that appears most often in the set;2. if two or more measures appear the same number of times, then each of these values is a mode;3. if every measure appears the same number of times, then the set of data has no mode.

The Mean
The mean (also known as arithmetic mean) is the most commonly used measure of central position. It is used to describe a set of data where the measures cluster or concentrate at a point. As the measures cluster around each other, a single value appears to represent distinctively the typical value.
![Page 10: MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY AND VARIABILITY](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c6b0294a795907748b45c8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How do we compute for the mean?
It is the sum of measures x divided by the number N of measures. It is symbolized as x (read as x bar). To find the mean of an ungrouped data, use the formula
where = summation of x (sum of measures) and
N= number of values of x.

The situation…
Sonya’s Kitchen received an invitation in a Food Exposition. All the seven service crew are eager to go but only one can represent the restaurant. To be fair, Sonya thought of sending the crew whose age is in the middle of the ages of the seven crews.
![Page 16: MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY AND VARIABILITY](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c6b0294a795907748b45c8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
She made a list of the service crews and their ages:

The Median
The median is the middlemost value or term in a set of data arranged according to size/magnitude (either increasing or decreasing). If the number of values is even, the median is the average of the two middlemost values.

The situation…
A testing laboratory wishes to test two experimental brands of outdoor paint to see how long each paint will last before fading. The testing lab makes use of six gallons of paint for each brand name to test.
![Page 27: MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY AND VARIABILITY](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c6b0294a795907748b45c8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The results (in months) are as follows:

Guide Questions:1. What is the mean score of each brand?2. Can the mean of each brand be a good basis for
comparing them?3. Which brand has results closer to the mean? 4. If you are to choose from these two brands,
which would you prefer? Why?
![Page 28: MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY AND VARIABILITY](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c6b0294a795907748b45c8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Measures of Dispersion or Variability
-refer to the spread of the values about the mean. These are important quantities used by statisticians in evaluation. Smaller dispersion of scores arising from the comparison often indicates more consistency and more reliability.
The most commonly used measures of dispersion are the range, the average deviation, the standard deviation, and variance.
![Page 29: MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY AND VARIABILITY](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c6b0294a795907748b45c8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Range
The range is the simplest measure of variability. It is the difference between the largest value and the smallest value.
Range= Largest Value – Smallest Value
![Page 30: MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY AND VARIABILITY](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c6b0294a795907748b45c8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Going back to the activity…
Brand A: 10 60 50 30 40 20
Brand B: 35 45 30 35 40 25
Largest Value = 60
Smallest Value = 10
Largest Value = 45
Smallest Value = 25
RANGE = Largest Value – Smallest Value= 60 – 10

RANGE = Largest Value – Smallest Value = 45 – 25

Now consider another situation
The following are the daily wages of 8 factory workers of two garments factories A and B. Find the range of salaries in peso (Php).
Factory A: 400, 450, 520, 380, 482, 495, 575, 450Factory B: 450, 460, 462, 480, 450, 450, 400, 600
Questions:1. What is the mean wage of each group of workers?2. What is the range of wages of each group of workers?3. For this case, are you convinced that the group with lower range
has more consistent wages?
![Page 32: MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY AND VARIABILITY](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c6b0294a795907748b45c8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Though the range is the simplest and easiest to find measure of variability, it is not a stable measure. Its value can fluctuate greatly even with a change in just a single value, either the highest or lowest.
![Page 33: MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY AND VARIABILITY](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c6b0294a795907748b45c8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Average/Mean Deviation
The dispersion of a set of data about the average of these data is the average deviation or the mean deviation.
![Page 34: MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY AND VARIABILITY](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c6b0294a795907748b45c8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

The average deviation gives a better approximate than the range. However, it does not lend itself readily to mathematical treatment for deeper analysis.
Then what measure of
variability is the most reliable?
It’s the standard deviation.

What does a standard
deviation of 10 imply?
It means that most of the scores are within 10 units from the mean.
So does that mean that a lower
standard deviation means less varied
scores?
That’s correct!Lower standard
deviation shows more consistent scores.

RULES FOR GROUPING
1. The intervals must cover the complete range of values. The intervals need not begin nor end with the lowest or highest values.
2. The intervals must be of equal size.3. For effective grouping, the number of
intervals should be between 5 and 15.4. Every score must be tallied from highest
to lowest or from lowest to highest.5. Thus, the intervals should not overlap.
When an interval ends with a counting number, the next intervals begins with the next counting number.

Steps in Finding the Mean
1. Compute for the Class Mark (CM).
2. Add the frequencies to obtain .
3. Compute for the values of CM by multiplying each class mark by the corresponding frequency.
4. Add the values of CM to obtain
5. Substitute in the values in the formula for the mean:

Steps in Finding the Median
1. Obtain the cumulative frequencies.
2. Identify the class that contains the median and obtain the median location .
3. Apply the formula:
Where = lower boundary of the class containing the median = the cumulative frequency of the class preceding the class
containing the median = the number of observations in the class containing the
median = size of class interval
