Brgy. Tumalalud: 3, 1, 4, 2, 0, 4, 2, 2, 1, 3
Brgy. Manibad: 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 6, 4, 2, 1, 3

a. Compute for the mean.

b. What information can we get from these values?
c. What is the median of Brgy. Tumalalud? Brgy. Manibad?
d. What is the mode of Brgy. Tumalalud? Brgy. Manibad?
Group task:
The students will be grouped into 5. Each group will be receiving materials and will answer the given tasks
shown in the projector. The first group to finish will be given additional one point to the total of their scores.

The set of data shows the ages of 20 people riding in a bus.

21, 22, 23, 31, 26, 27,28,26, 6, 19, 21, 80, 32, 26, 25, 23, 18, 19, 21, 22

1. What age frequently appears?

2. What age appears to be in the middle?
3. Compute the mean.

Annabelle received her school card and the following is her grades in the eight subjects: 89, 93, 92, 89, 88, 90,
95, 86. She wants to know her average grade. Can you help her?

Ask the following questions to the students.

1. How can you find the mean?
2. How can you find the mode?
3. How can you find the median?

The mean is the sum of the numbers in a list of data divided by the total number of items/addends.
The mode is the number or item that appears most often/frequent in a list of data.
 The median in a list of data is the number in the middle when the data are arranged from least to greatest.
