Activity For Central Tendency

This document provides examples of calculating measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) for two datasets. For the first dataset of test scores for 15 students, it calculates the mean as 2.4, the median as 2, and the mode as 3. For the second dataset of ages of 100 people with health insurance, it calculates the mean as 42, the median as 42.5, and the mode as falling in the class of 38-47. It interprets that the central tendencies falling in the same class shows the age distribution is consistent with a normal distribution.

The mean, median, and mode is in the class 38-37


➢ INTERPRETATION
The age distribution of 100 people who had health insurance in 2003 is consistent with a
normal distribution. This shows that the central tendency, represented by the mean,
median, and mode of a given collection of integers, falls within a similar class limit and
establishes the alignment of the distributions inside the sample. The conclusion for the
distribution of the data is even because the computed mean and median have values
close to one another.
