    Objectives

    At the end of the lesson, students


    should be able to:
    1. Define Mean, Median and Mode
    2. Solve the mean, median and mode
    of the given set of data

    studying measures of central tendency to
    criminology
    What is a Measure of
    Central Tendency?
    A measure of central tendency,
    commonly referred to as an average, is
    a single value that represents a data
    set. Its purpose is to locate the center
    of data set.
    This lesson discusses three
    different measures of central tendency:
    the mean, median, and the mode.
    Mean

    Properties of Mean
    1. A set of data has only one mean.
    2. Mean can be applied for interval and ratio data.
    3. All values in the data set are included in
    computing the mean.
    4. The mean is very useful in comparing two or
    more data sets.
    5. Mean is affected by the extreme small or large
    values on a data set.
    6. Mean is most appropriate in symmetrical data.
    The mean of N is the sum of the
    numbers divided by N. The symbol stands
    for the sample mean, for the population
    mean.

    where n is the size of the sample and N is


    the size of the population.
    Example

    Suppose in 81 provinces of the Philippines, 30 provinces


    have reported number of cases involving illegal drugs. The
    following data are listed below, what is the average
    number of cases involving illegal drugs in the Philippines?

    40 41 38 40 60 50 50 50 30 32
    42 38 45 47 56 56 40 38 29 47
    50 50 42 56 31 27 28 41 43 47
    Solution:
    Example

    Find the mean for the set of


    data:
    1.

    2. 6, 9, 11, 11, 14, 6


    Weighted Mean

     The weighted mean is particularly useful


    when various classes or groups
    contribute differently to the total.
     One example of the weighted mean is the
    general average, which you will see often
    at the end of each semester. It is your
    grade point average at the end each
    semester which takes into consideration
    the “weight” of each of your subjects.
    Weighted Mean

    The weighted mean of N numbers


    with corresponding weights is
    Example

    Riana’s first quarter grade is


    shown in the table below. Use the
    weighted mean formula to find
    Riana’s GPA for the first quarter.
    Subject Englis Mathemati Filipin Scienc P.E. Religio
    s h cs o e n

    Grade 90 87 88 93 95 96
    Units 3 3 3 3 2 1
    Solution
    Let:
    w1 = 3 w2 = 3 w3 = 3 w4 = 3
    w5 = 2 w6 = 1
    x1 = 90 x2 = 87 x3 = 88 x4
    = 93 x5 = 95 x6 = 96

    The weighted mean is 90.67.


    Mode
     The mode of data set is most frequently
    occurring observation.
     A data may not contain any mode if none
    of the values are “most typical”. A data set
    that has only one value that occur the
    greatest frequency is said to be unimodal.
    If the data has two values with the same
    greatest frequency, both values are
    considered the mode and the date set is
    bimodal. If a data set has more than two
    modes, then the data set is said to be
    multimodal.
    Properties of Mode

    1. The mode is found by locating the most


    frequently occurring value.
    2. The mode is the easiest average to compute.
    3. There can be more than one mode or even
    no mode in any given data set.
    4. Mode is not affected by the extreme small or
    large values.
    5. Mode can be applied for nominal, ordinal,
    interval and ratio data.
    Example

    Find the mode of the data set.


    1. 5, 3, 4, 4, 6, 7, 4, 8
    2. 8, 5, 3, 8, 4, 4, 6, 7, 4, 8
    3. Never-2
    Rarely-3
    Sometimes-3
    Often-1
    Always- 3
    4. Yellow, Blue, White, Red, Green, Black
    Median

    Properties of Median

    1. The median is unique, there is only one median for a


    set of data.
    2. The median is found by arranging the set of data from
    lowest or highest (or highest to lowest) and getting
    the value of the middle observation.
    3. Median is not affected by the extreme small or large
    values.
    4. Median can be applied for ordinal, interval and ratio
    data.
    5. Median is most appropriate in a skewed data.
    Two Rules:

    1.If n is odd,
    the median is the middles ranked.
    2. If n is even,
    then the median is the average of the
    two middle ranked values.
    Median (Rank Value) =
    Note that n is the population/sample size.
    Example

    Find the median of the following data


    set.
    1. 9,8,5,10,11,15,7
    5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15
    The median is 9

    2. 3,4,2,5,6,7,2,3
    7 3+4
    2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6,= = 7/2 = 3.5
    The mean, mode and median are all
    averages, but of the three it is the mean
    which is most sensitive. A change in any
    of the numbers in a data set affects the
    value of the mean. In addition, the
    extreme values, even if they are few, can
    significantly affect the value of the mean.
    In contrast the mode and the median are
    not affected by extreme values.
    Example
    A police investigator collected information
    about the annual income of the public officials in a
    certain barangay as part of the report for the crime
    incident recently happened. The following data are
    shown below:
    Official A B C D E F G H I J K

    Annual income
    34
    in thousand 42 30 45 32 16 24 28 26 26 16
    0
    Php

    Compute for the mean annual income and median.


    Example

    Solution
    a. Mean

    Mean monthly family income is 56,800 Php.


    b. Median
    Ranked 1 2
    16 24 26 28 32 38 42 45 340
    income 6 6
    POSITION 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
    Median income is 28,000 Php.
    Give what is ask!

    1. Find the mean, mode and median of the data set:


    a) 5,11,10,5,6,13,4
    b) 18,20,22,11,13,13,14
    c) 6, 7,4,4,5,8,9,6
    2. What is the median age of a group of employees
    whose ages are 20, 28, 22, 10, 16, and 15 years?
    3. If the heights in inches of a group of students are
    60, 73, 70, and 67, what is the mean height of these
    students?
