MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCIES

I. MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCIES

Identify the measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) and the standard
deviation of the sample survey below:

SAMPLE SURVEY:

Students have been selected to participate in a short survey. The

survey asked what year they took Mathematics in the Modern World and
their scores in the final exam of the said subject. The summary of their
answers is presented in a tabular form.
