Lecture 3 Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion.pptxshakirRahman10
Objectives:
Define measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode)
Define measures of dispersion (variance and standard deviation).
Compute the measures of central tendency and Dispersion.
Learn the application of mean and standard deviation using Empirical rule and Tchebyshev’s theorem.
Measures of Central Tendency:
A measure of the central tendency is a value about which the observations tend to cluster.
In other words it is a value around which a data set is centered.
The three most common measures of central tendency are mean, median and mode.

The three most common measures of central tendency are mean, median and mode.
Why is it needed?
To summarize the data.
It provides with a typical value that gives the picture of the entire data set
Mean:
It is the arithmetic average of a set of numbers, It is the most common measure of central tendency.
Computed by summing all values in the data set and dividing the sum by the number of values in the data set Properties:
Applicable for interval and ratio data
Not applicable for nominal or ordinal data
Affected by each value in the data set, including extreme values.
Formula:
Mean is calculated by adding all values in the data set and dividing the sum by the number of values in the data set.
Median:
Mid-point or Middle value of the data when the measurements are arranged in ascending order.
A point that divides the data into two equal parts.
Computational Procedure:
Arrange the observations in an ascending order.
If there is an odd number of terms, the median is the middle value and If there is an even number of terms, the median is the average of the middle two terms.
Mode:
The mode is the observation that occurs most frequently in the data set.
There can be more than one mode for a data set OR there maybe no mode in a data set.
Is also applicable to the nominal data.
Comparison of Measures of Central Tendency in Positively Skewed Distributions:
Majority of the data values fall to the left of the mean and cluster at the lower end of the distribution: the tail is to the right Mean, median & mode are different When a distribution has a few extremely high scores, the mean will have a greater value than the median = positively skewed.
Majority of the data values fall to
the right of the mean and cluster at the upper end of the distribution= Negatively Skewed

Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:

Introduction
•A measure of central tendency is a descriptive
statistic that describes the number or typical
value of a set of values that helps the researcher
to assume the overall distribution of values.
•There are three common measures of central
tendency:
•the mode
•the median
•the mean
5. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Mode example
• Marks obtained in physics (out of 50) by 25 students
of a class
•23, 21, 32, 44, 21, 24, 25, 32, 34, 21, 33, 40,
37, 38, 41, 21, 43, 21, 28, 30, 34, 36, 44, 21,
18
• 21 mark is the Mode of the above data as it occurs more
frequently (6 times).
6. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
How to calculate mode?
• Mode is calculated by creating frequency table.
• Most frequently appearing value is taken as mode.
• Mode is 7 mark in the below example as it appears more
frequently in the data
7. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Types of modes
•Bimodal distribution: When a datum has
two modes (ie., two values has same high
frequency of distribution).
•Multimodal distribution: when a datum has
more than two modes.
8. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Mode - application
•It is rarely used by researchers as it is not an
useful measurement of central tendency.
•It is not sensitive and never predicts the exact
measure of central tendency of the data set.
10. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Calculation of median
•Arrange the data from highest to lowest
•Find the score in the middle
➢Find the middle by the formula (N + 1) / 2
where N is the number of scores or values in
the data.
➢If N is even number the median is the
average of the middle two scores
11. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Median example (when N is odd number)
• What is the median of the following values:
10 8 14 17 7 6 3 8 12 10 9
• Sort the values:
17 14 12 10 10 9 8 8 7 6 3
• Determine the middle value:
middle = (N + 1) / 2 = (11 + 1) / 2 = 6
• Middle value = median = 9
12. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Median example (when N is even number)
• What is the median of the following values:
28 18 19 44 16 11
• Sort the values:
44 28 19 18 16 11
• Determine the middle score:
middle = (N + 1) / 2 = (6 + 1) / 2 = 3.5
• Median = average of 3rd and 4th scores:
(19 + 18) / 2 = 18.5

Mean
• The mean is the arithmetic average of all the values
obtained by adding up all the values and dividing by
the total number of values.
n
X
X
=
ത𝑋 - Mean, ∑𝑋 is the sum of the values and n is the total number of values

Mean – example
•Calculate the mean of the following data:
1 6 4 3 7
•Sum the scores (X):
1 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 6 = 20
•Divide the sum (X = 20) by the number of
scores (N = 5):
20 / 5 = 4
•Mean = ത𝑋 = 3
16. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Mean – application
•Mean is sensitive method and often used
method for the measurement of central
tendency provided the data should not be
skewed.
• It can be used for all the numerical data and
even for ordinal data.
20. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Standard deviation
•Standard deviation is a measure of how each
value in a data set varies or deviates from the
mean
•It is mandatory in all descriptive statistics done
in research that the mean value should
accompany with standard deviation
22. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Steps to calculate the standard deviation
•Find the mean of the set of data ( ത𝑋)
•Find the difference between each value and the
mean:
•Square the difference
•Find the average (mean) of these squares
•Take the square root to find the standard
deviation

Range - limitations
•The range is a very crude measurement of the
spread of data.
•It is extremely sensitive to outliers (Outliers- a
data that differs significantly from other data
values).
•A single data value can greatly affect the value of
the range.

Quartile deviation - example
• Calculate quartile deviation of the data set : 22, 12, 14, 7, 18, 16, 11,
15, 12.
• First, arrange data in ascending order to find Q3 and Q1 and avoid
any duplicates.
• 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 22
• Q1 = ¼ (9 + 1) =¼ (10) - Q1=2.5 Term
• Q3 = ¾ (9 + 1) =¾ (10) - Q3= 7.5 Term
First Quartile Q1 = ¼ (n+1)th term and Third Quartile Q3 = ¾ (n+1)th term
29. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Quartile deviation – example – cont..
•Q1 = 2.5th term
= 2nd term + [0.5 × (3rd term – 2nd term)]
= 11 + [0.5 x (12 -11)] = 11 + (0.5 x 1)
= 11+ 0.5 = 11.5
•Q3 = 7.5th term
= 7th term + 0.5 × (8th term – 7th term)
= 16 + [0.5 x (18 -16)]
= 16 + (0.5 x 2) = 16 + 1 = 17
31. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Quartile deviation – uses and limitation
• QD depicts the extent to which the observations or the
values of the given dataset are spread out from the
mean.
• The Quartile deviation is used to study about the
dispersion of given data sets that lie in the main body of
the given series.
• The quartile deviation is good to use for descriptive
purposes especially when the data is highly skewed, or
multi-modal, or contains outliers
• However, it is not superior to standard deviation
34. statisticsforu.com
Online statistical service
Variance - limitations
•The mean and variance have a different unit
hence it is difficult to read the variance
along with the mean.
•We will have to calculate Standard Deviation
in order to have a proper understanding of
the dispersion of the data along the mean.
