    1. The median of the ungrouped data in part a) is 72. The median of the ungrouped data in part b) is 53. 2. To find the median of the grouped data in part c): The cumulative frequency of 56-58 is 3; the cumulative frequency of 59-61 is 7. The median is between these two classes so the median is 59.5. 3. The mode of the ungrouped data in part b) is 52, as this value occurs most frequently.

    B.4. Median – Median is the second type of measures of central tendency. It is what divides the scores
    of the distribution into two equal parts. Fifty percent (50%) lies below the median value and 50% lies
    above the median value. It is also known as the middle score or the 50 th percentile.

    B.4.1 For classroom purposes, the first thing to do is to arrange the scores from lowest
    to highest or vice versa. When the number of cases are odd, the median is the score that has the
    same number of scores below and above it. When the number of cases are even, determine the
    average of the two middle most scores that have equal number of scores below and above it.
    (ungrouped data)

    Examples:

    1. Find the median score of 7 students in an English class.

    X (score) Analysis:

    19 The median score is 15. Fifty percent (50) or three


    17 of the scores are above 15 (19, 17, 16) and three of the
    16 scores are below 15 (10, 5, 2)
    15
    10
    5
    2

    2. Find the median score of 8 students in an English class.


    30
    19 Md (median) = ___16 + 15____
    17 2
    16 = 15.5
    15
    10
    5
    2
    B.4.2 Finding the median for grouped data: Formula
    = 34.5 + _____15___ Analysis:
    9
    = 34.5 = 1.67 The median value is 36.17, which means that 50%
    or 20 scores are less than 36.17.
    Median = 36.17

    Properties of the median:

    1. It may not be the actual observation in the data set


    2. It can be applied in ordinal level
    3. It is not affected by extreme values because median is a positional measure.
    When to use the median:

    1. When the exact midpoint of the score distribution is desired.


    2. There are extreme scores in the distribution
    B.5. Mode: The mode is the third measure of central tendency. The mode or the modal score is
    a score that occurred most in the distribution. It is classified as unimodal (1 mode), bimodal (2 modes),
    trimodal (3 modes) or multimodal (more than 2 modes).

    B.5.1 Ungrouped data: Spot the score or scores that occur most. Example: is a set of scores
    – 25, 24, 24, 20, 20, 20, 16, 12, 10, 7, the mode is 20.

    B.5.2 Grouped Data


    Properties of the mode:
    1. It can be used when data are qualitative as well as quantitative.
    2. It may not be unique
    3. It is not affected by extreme values
    4. It may not exist

    When to use the mode:

    1. When the “typical value” is desired.


    2. When the data set is measured on a nominal scale

    Exercises: Given a set of scores, compute and analyse the results

    1. Median
    a. Ungrouped data
    79, 77, 76, 75, 74, 73, 71, 70, 69, 69, 68, 65, 60, 55
    b. Ungrouped data
    57, 55, 54, 53, 52, 52, 52, 52, 51, 50, 45

    c. Grouped data: Fill the cf (less than) column and compute the median value

    X f cf (less than)
    50 – 52 1
    53 – 55 3
    56 – 58 2
    59 – 61 4
    62 – 64 4
    65 – 67 2
    68 – 70 1
    71 – 73 3
    74 – 76 5
    77 – 79 2
    80 – 82 2
    83 – 85 4
    86 – 88 2
    89 – 91 2
    92 – 94 1
    95 – 97 2
    N = 40

    2. Mode: Use set of data in letter b ungrouped data.
