Mathematics in Modern World

Mathematics is essential in modern world for analyzing data through measures of central tendency, dispersion, and relative position. Measures of central tendency like the mean, median, and mode indicate the center of a data set. Measures of dispersion such as the range, variance, and standard deviation convey how spread out the data values are. Measures of relative position indicate what percentage of observations fall below a given value using standardized scores.

Mathematics in Modern World

a. Measures of central tendency


– are numeral descriptive measures which indicate or located the center of a distribution
or a data set.
3 measures of central tendency

Mean -

Median-

Mode-

b. Measures of Dispersion
- a measure of variability of a set of data is a number that conveys the idea of spread for
the data set. Example of ;
Range - measures the distance between the largest and smallest value.
Range (R) = highest value – lowest value
Variance – a given data set is the square of the standard deviation of the data.

Standard Deviation – is a measure of how spread out of numbers .

c. Measures of Relative Position


- Indicating the value below which a given percentage of observation in a group of
observations fall.
z = value-mean
standard deviation
