This document discusses different types of statistical measures including mean, median, and mode. It provides examples of calculating the mean, median, and mode for various data sets involving things like test scores, lengths of cucumbers, and number of packets. The mean is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the total number. The median is the middle value after arranging the data in order. The mode is the most frequently occurring value. According to the examples, farmer A would be more likely to sell their cucumbers as they were of a more consistent length compared to farmer B.

5. Selecting Statistics
We use averages to give meaning to the raw data and helps us make some conclusions
about it. We can also select the most appropriate measure of statistical calculation to
our problem.

6. Properties of Mean

9. Advantages of Median

10. Disadvantages of Median

11. Exercise 12.1
Mean= sum of all values / total packets Mean= 3008/15=200.5
Median= middle value = (15 + 1)/2= 8th value after arranging in order=
200
Mode = Most often = 200

12. Exercise 12.1
Mean= sum of all values / total
competitions
Mean= 43.84/9 =4.87
Median= middle value = (9 + 1)/2= 5th value after arranging in order=
5.34
Mode = Most often = 4.24

13. Mean for farmer B= sum of all values / total
cucumbers
Mean for B = 302/12 = 25.16
Exercise 12.1
Mean for farmer A= sum of all values / total
cucumbers
Mean for A= 349/12 = 29.08

14. Median for Farmer B = middle value = 6th + 7th /2 = 29+30/2= 26
Exercise 12.1
Median for Farmer A = middle value = 6th + 7th /2 = 29+30/2=29.2
Mode for Farmer A = Most often = 31
Mode for Farmer B = Most often = 26
According to all the averages the average length of cucumbers is more
than 25 cm . But farmer A is more likely to sell his cucumbers as his
cucumbers are of a consistent length . That is they donot have a large
range.
