Understanding Mean, Median, and

Mode
• Grade 8 - Mathematics
• Presented by: [Your Name]
Introduction to Central Tendency
• Central tendency refers to statistical measures
that identify a single value representing the
entire data set.

• - Mean (Average)
• - Median (Middle Value)
• - Mode (Most Frequent Value)

• These measures help in understanding the


Mean (Average)
• Definition: Sum of observations divided by
total number.

• Formula: Mean = (Sum of Data Points) /


(Number of Data Points)

• Example:
• Data: 4,5,7,9,10
• Mean = 35 / 5 = 7
Median (Middle Value)
• Definition: Middle value of ordered data.

• - If odd, median is the middle value.


• - If even, median is the average of two middle
values.

• Example:
• Data: 3,5,7,9,11
• Median = 7
Mode (Most Frequent Value)
• Definition: Most frequently occurring value.

• Types:
• - Unimodal: One mode
• - Bimodal: Two modes
• - Multimodal: More than two modes

• Example:
• Data: 2,3,3,4,5
Comparison of Measures
• - Mean: Affected by outliers; good for
symmetrical data.
• - Median: Resistant to outliers; ideal for
skewed data.
• - Mode: Best for categorical data.
Real-Life Applications
• - Mean: Average marks, household income.
• - Median: House prices, median age.
• - Mode: Popular shoe size, TV ratings.
Practice Questions
• Find Mean, Median, and Mode for:
3,6,8,8,10,12

• - Mean: 7.83
• - Median: 8
• - Mode: 8
Dealing with Outliers
• Outliers: Values far from others.

• Impact:
• - Mean: Greatly affected.
• - Median: Slightly affected.
• - Mode: Usually unaffected.
Summary
• - Mean: Best for balanced data.
• - Median: Best for skewed data.
• - Mode: Best for categorical data.
Tips for Solving Problems
• - Arrange data for median.
• - Check for multiple modes.
• - Be aware of outliers affecting the mean.
Thank You!
