Teaching or Modelling

Here is our topic outline.

For today, we are going to talk about:
Measures of Central Tendency for (Student will listen)
Ungrouped Data
- Mean (Arithmetic Mean)
- Population Mean
- Sample Mean
- Median
- Population Median
- Sample Mean
- Mode
- Types of Mode

Please read and understand the definition

of Mean. Yes?
(Student will read and understand the
Arithmetic Mean - is computed by definition of mean or arithmetic mean)
summing all the values of the variable in
the data set divided by the number of
observations.

Thank you!
Ok! While your classmate is reading some
information, everyone please listen to him
or her. Study and understand the
information being presented on the LED
TV. So, you can also take notes of the
important information or keywords.

Understood?

Next! Please read! Yes? Yes Sir! (Chorus)

Population Mean, µ (mew)

Thank you! (Student will stand up)

Average Sir!
To make it simple, the keyword for mean
is … Yes?

Exactly! Or Mean is the average of all

values.
(Student will stand up)
Aside from that what did you noticed? The formulas for sample mean are
Yes? almost the same but other variables and
the representations differ. But I think Sir,
the process of computing or computation
is just the same for the both.

Very good! (Student will stand up)

Anyways, what do you mean by Population is the entire group.
population? Yes?
Very good!
(Student will stand up)
How about the sample? Sample is a subset or just a part of a
Yes? population.
Very good also!
(Student will listen and will take down
You can use the formula: notes)
Mean =
∑ of all scores

For both population or sample mean or
whether the data is a population or a
sample.
Let say for example, we have here
observations: (Student will stand up)
3 Sir!
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. What is the average or the
mean of these observations?

Very good! (Student will stand up)

8 Sir!
How about if we have 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. What
is the mean of these observations? Yes?

Very good!

Try this one! (Student will read the example)

Please read. Yes?

Example: The number of building permits
issued last month to 12 construction forms
in Amadeo was 2, 6, 0, 6, 10, 3, 0, 14, 2,
4, 7, and 6. Treating data as a population,
compute the mean.

a. 4 c. 6

Example: The reaction times of a random
sample of 9 subjects to a stimulant were
recorded as 3, 3.6, 3.1, 4.3, 2.9, 2.3, 2.6,
4.1, and 3.4 seconds. Find the mean.
a. 3.2 c. 3.4

Are we clear with Mean or Arithmetic
Mean?
Yes Sir! (Chorus)
How about the second measure of central
tendency for ungrouped data.

Median.

Please read! Yes?

Median
It is the value that lies in the middle of the (Student will read the definition of

decreasing order of magnitude.

Thank you!

Next! Please read. Yes?

Raw Data – data in its original form
Array – arrangement of data according to
order of magnitude (increasing or
decreasing order) (Student will read the definition of raw
data and array)
Thank you!

How about the population median? Please

read! Yes?

Population Median, ~ µ (mew tilde)

Let X(1), X(2), X(3), …, X(N) be the N (Student will read the definition of
observations arranged in an array form population median and case 1)
where N = population size
Case 1) If N is odd; the median is the
middle number.

Thank you!

Please read case number 2. Yes?

Case 2) If N is even, the median is the

average of the 2 middle numbers.

Thank you!
So, the keyword for median is … Yes?
(Student will stand up)
Very good! Middle Sir!
When we are talking about median. It is
the data or value that lies in the middle of
an array of observation.

Am I right? Based on what your

classmates read earlier?
Yes sir! (Chorus)
Aside from that what did you noticed?
Yes?
(Student will stand up)
Aside from that Sir, in finding the
Very good! median, of course, we will encounter
having odd and even number of
So for both population and sample observations.
median, you can use the following
formulas to compute for the median:
(Students will listen and will take note of
Odd: the following formulas)

n ˖1
Median = X( )
2

Even

X (n /2)+ X (n/2+1)
Median =
2

If the number of observation is odd the

median is … Yes?
(Student will stand up)
Very good! The only one item at the center Sir!

On the other hand, if the number of

observation is even … Yes? (Student will stand up)
Then the median is the average of the
Very good! two middle observations.

Let’s say for example.

We have here observations,
1,3 and 2. (Student will listen and study the
example)
Is this in array form already or not?

So we must arrange it from ascending or

descending order first or into an array. No Sir! (In chorus)
We have here now, 1, 2 and 3.
(Students will listen)
How many observations do we have?

Is that an odd or an even?

(Student will stand up)
Very good! 3 Sir!
Odd Sir!
So what’s the median of the given set of
data?

(Student will stand up)

2 Sir!
If we have an odd number of
observations Sir, it is easy to find the
median. That means there is only one
item in the middle of observations sir or
we can use the formula.

Very Good! n ˖1
Median = X( )
2

Then solve.
How about if we have 1, 2, 3 and 4. What
is the median of the given set of data? 3˖ 1
Median = X( ) = X2 = 2
2

(Student will stand up)

The median Sir is 2.5 because if we
have an even number of observations,
the median is the average of the 2
middle observations. Or we can use the
formula:
Very good! Exactly!
X (n /2)+ X (n/2+1)
Ok! Listen! Median is affected by extreme Median =
2
values or excessive values because we X (4/2)+ X ( 4 /2+1)
are just arranging the observations into Median =
2
array and we are just taking the middle X 2+ X 3 2+ 3
observations, the rest of the excessive Median = = = 2.5
2 2
values will no longer be used.
(Students will listen)
Compare to mean, which is affected by the
extreme values or excessive values
because all the observations were took in
considerations or all observations are
used in the computation.

Am I making myself clear?

Ok! Let’s take this example.

Who wants to read the example? Yes?

How about the Types of Mode. Please

read. Yes?
No mode – A data having equal frequency
of observations.
Unimodal – A data having one mode.
Bimodal – A data having two modes.
Multimodal – a data having more than two
modes (Student will read the types of mode)

Thank you!

So the keyword for mode is … Yes?

Very good!
Most frequent! Most common value or the
most frequently occurring value.

For the types of mode, we can easily

understand each type because of its (Student will stand up)
name. MOST FREQUENT Sir!

For no mode, the data have …. Yes?

For unimodal, the data have … Yes?

Student will stand up)

For bimodal, the data have … Yes? Equal frequency Sir! There is no most
common value or no mode for short.

For multimodal, the data have … Yes? (Student will stand up)
1 most common value Sir!
Is that clear?
 (Student will stand up)
Let’ say for example, we have 1, 2, and 3. 2 common values.
What’s the mode?
Very good! (Student will stand up)
More two common values.
How about if we have 1, 1, 2 and 3.
What’s the mode? What type of mode? Yes Sir! (Chorus)
Very good!
No mode Sir! (In chorus)
How about if we have 1, 1, 2, 2, and 3.
What’s the mode? What type of mode?
Very good!
(Student will stand up)
How about if we have 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 and Mo = 1, Unimodal
4. What’s the mode? What type of mode?

First we must remember the two cases.
What is mode? If the number of observations is odd, the
median is only one item at the center.
Very good! But when the number of observations is
even, then median is the average of the
two middle observations.
What are the different types of modes?

F. Closure:

Be a median in a world full of extreme values. – Nikki B. Lucero

(Median is a not affected by extreme values. In life, living in judge-mental society, we
should act like a median, not affected by extreme values or judgments of other people.
One of the 7 cardinal rules in life, in order for us to be happy is what others think of us is
none of our business. What matters is what we think of ourselves, knowing that we are
always doing the right thing or we are on the right path.)
