Group 3 measures of central tendency and variation - (mean, median, mode, range standard deviation and variance)


Measures of Central
Tendency and Variation
Central tendency: indicates where the center of
the distribution tends to be
(88% grade)
(compact, disperse)
Measures of central tendency answers whether
the scores are generally high or general low.


Measures of Central
Tendency and Variation
Average Height is 6’4” Average Height is 5’4”


Use of Central Tendency
 Simplification: one number
 Prediction: Predict other scores
Chairs, Classrooms, Books, School needs.
 Determining which off central
tendency to use depends on:
Scale of measurement
Nominal, Ordinal, interval,
Ratio
(NOIR)
Shape of Distribution
Skew
Kurtosis
Average Children: 2.3


Median is what divides the scores in
the distribution into two equal parts.
Fifty percent (50%) lies below the
median value and 50% lies above the
median value.
It is also known as the middle score or
the 50th percentile.
MEDIAN


The median is a single value from the data
set that measures the central item in the data.
This single value is the middlemost or most
central item in the set of scores. Half of the
scores lie above this point and other half lie
below it.
MEDIAN


 MEDIAN OF UNGROUPED DATA
1. Arrange the scores(from lowest to highest or highest to
lowest).
2. If the data has odd numbered items, the median is middle
item of the array. However, if it has even number of items,
the median is the average of the two middle items.

the scores are arranged from
lowest to highest value
Fm = frequency of the median

n= number of scores


1. Complete the table for <cf.
2. Get

so that you can identify MC.
3. Determine LB, cfp, fm and c.i.
4. Solve the median using the formula.


Mode or Modal Score
is the measure of central tendency
that identifies the category or score
that occurs the most frequently
within the distribution of data


Classification of Mode
Unimodal- is a distribution of scores
that consist of only one mode.
Bimodal- is a distribution of scores
that consists of two modes.
Trimodal- is a distribution of scores
that consist of three modes or
multimodal a distribution of scores
that consists of more than two modes.

Scores of 40 students in a students in a science


Terms
Lb= Lower boundary of the modal
class
Modal Class (MC)= is a category
containing the highest frequency
D1= difference between the frequency
of the modal class and the frequency
above it, when the scores are arranged
from lowest to highest.


D2= difference between the frequency
of the modal class and the frequency
below it, when the scores are arranged
from lowest to highest.
C.i size of class interval

d1
d1 + d2
𝑥 𝐶. 𝑖X̂

Range
It is the difference between the
lowest and highest values.
Example: In 4,6,9,3,7 the lowest
value is 3, and the highest is 9.
Solution:
9 - 3 = 6


Standard deviation
 It is a number used to tell how measurements
for a group are spread out from the average
(mean) or expected value.
 Low standard deviation means that most of
the numbers are close to the average.
 High standard deviation means that the
numbers are more spread out .



Variance
is the square of the standard deviation.
It is a measure of how dispersed or spread out the
set is, something that the “average” (mean or
median) is not designed to do.
