Teaching or Modelling

Here is our topic outline.

For today, we are going to talk about:
Measures of Central Tendency for (Student will listen)
Ungrouped Data
- Mean (Arithmetic Mean)
- Population Mean
- Sample Mean
- Median
- Population Median
- Sample Mean
- Mode
- Types of Mode

Please read and understand the definition of

Mean. Yes?
(Student will read and understand the
Arithmetic Mean - is computed by summing definition of mean or arithmetic mean)
all the values of the variable in the data set
divided by the number of observations.

Thank you!
Ok! While your classmate is reading some
information, everyone please listen to him or
her. Study and understand the
information being presented on the LED
TV. So, you can also take notes of the
important information or keywords.

Understood? Yes Sir! (Chorus)

Next! Please read! Yes? (Student will read the definition of

Population Mean, µ (mew) population mean and its formula)

Let X1, X2, …, XN be the N observations of a

variable from a population and N be the
population size.

The population mean is

∑ 𝑁1
µ = Xi
𝑖=
𝑁

Thank you! (Student will read the definition and

formula of sample Mean)
Please read! Yes? Sample
Mean, 𝑥̅ (x-bar)
Let x1, x2, …, xn be the n observations of a
variable from a sample and n be the sample
size.
The sample mean is
∑𝑛 Xi
𝑥̅ = 𝑖=1
𝑛

Thank you!
(Student will stand up)
To make it simple, the keyword for mean is Average Sir!
… Yes?

Exactly! Or Mean is the average of all

values.

Aside from that what did you noticed? (Student will stand up)
Yes? The formulas for sample mean are almost the
same but other variables and the
representations differ. But I think Sir, the
process of computing or computation is just
the same for the both.

Very good!
Anyways, what do you mean by (Student will stand up)
population? Yes? Population is the entire group.
Very good!

How about the sample? (Student will stand up)

Yes? Sample is a subset or just a part of a
Very good also! population.

You can use the formula: (Student will listen and will take down
notes)
𝑆𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑠
Mean = 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑠
For both population or sample mean or
whether the data is a population or a
sample.
Let say for example, we have here
observations:

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. What is the average or the (Student will stand up) 3

mean of these observations? Sir!

Very good!

How about if we have 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. What is (Student will stand up) 8

the mean of these observations? Yes? Sir!

Very good!

Try this one!

Please read. Yes? (Student will read the example)

Example: The number of building permits
issued last month to 12 construction forms in
Amadeo was 2, 6, 0, 6, 10, 3, 0, 14, 2,
4, 7, and 6. Treating data as a population,
compute the mean.

a. 4 c. 6
b. 5 d. 7

Who wants to answer? Yes? (Student will stand up)

Let’s see if your answer is correct. Letter B. Sir! 5 permits.
𝑁
Let’s click letter B! ∑ 𝑖=1 𝑋𝑖 2+6+0+...+7+6
Great! µ= 𝑁 = 12 = 5 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑡𝑠

Another example!
Please read! Yes? (Student will read the other example)
Example: The reaction times of a random
sample of 9 subjects to a stimulant were
recorded as 3, 3.6, 3.1, 4.3, 2.9, 2.3, 2.6,
4.1, and 3.4 seconds. Find the mean.
a. 3.2 c. 3.4
b. 3.3 d. 3.5

Who wants to answer? Yes? (Student will stand up)

Let’ see if your answer is correct. Let’s Letter𝑛 B. 3.2 Sir!
∑ Xi 3 + 3.6 + … +3.4
click B. 𝑥̅ = 𝑖=1 = = 3.25 or 3.3 seconds
𝑛 9
You Got it!

Are we clear with Mean or Arithmetic Yes Sir! (Chorus)

Mean?

How about the second measure of central

tendency for ungrouped data.

Median.

Please read! Yes? (Student will read the definition of median)

Median
It is the value that lies in the middle of the
data when arranged in ascending order or
decreasing order of magnitude.
Thank you!

Next! Please read. Yes? (Student will read the definition of raw data
Raw Data – data in its original form and array)
Array – arrangement of data according to
order of magnitude (increasing or decreasing
order)

Thank you!

How about the population median? Please read! (Student will read the definition of
Yes? population median and case 1)

Population Median, µ̃ (mew tilde)

Let X(1), X(2), X(3), …, X(N) be the N
observations arranged in an array form
where N = population size
Case 1) If N is odd; the median is the
middle𝑁˖1
number.
µ̃ = X( )
2

Thank you!

Please read case number 2. Yes?

(Student will read case 2 for population
Case 2) If N is even, the median is the median)
average of the 2 middle numbers.
N N
X( ) + X( + 1)
2 2
µ̃ =
2

Thank you!

How about the sample median? Please

read. Yes? (Student will read the definition of sample
median and its case 1)
Sample Median, 𝑥̃ (x tilde)
Let X(1), X(2), X(3), …, X(N) be the n
observations arranged in an array form
where n = sample size
Case 1) If n is odd; the median is the
middle𝑁˖1
number.
𝑥̃ = X( )
2

Thank you! Please

(Students will read case 2 for sample
read. Yes?
median)
Case 2) if n is even, the median is the
average of the 2 middle numbers
X(n/2) + X(n/2 + 1)
𝑥̃ = 2

Thank you!
So, the keyword for median is … Yes? (Student will stand up)
Middle Sir!
Very good!
When we are talking about median. It is the
data or value that lies in the middle of
an array of observation.

Am I right? Based on what your

classmates read earlier? Yes sir! (Chorus)

Aside from that what did you noticed?

Yes? (Student will stand up)
Aside from that Sir, in finding the median, of
course, we will encounter having odd and
Very good! even number of observations.

So for both population and sample

median, you can use the following (Students will listen and will take note of
formulas to compute for the median: the following formulas)

Odd:

Median = X (𝑛˖1 )
2

Even

X(n/2) + X(n/2 + 1)
Median = 2

If the number of observation is odd the

median is … Yes? (Student will stand up)
The only one item at the center Sir!
Very good!

On the other hand, if the number of (Student will stand up)

observation is even … Yes? Then the median is the average of the two
middle observations.
Very good!

Let’s say for example.

We have here observations, (Student will listen and study the example)
1,3 and 2.

Is this in array form already or not?

No Sir! (In chorus)
So we must arrange it from ascending or
descending order first or into an array. (Students will listen)
We have here now, 1, 2 and 3.

How many observations do we have? Is

(Student will stand up) 3
that an odd or an even? Sir!
Odd Sir!
Very good!

So what’s the median of the given set of data?

(Student will stand up) 2
Sir!
If we have an odd number of observations Sir,
it is easy to find the median. That means there
is only one item in the middle of observations
sir or we can use the formula.
 Median = X (𝑛˖1 )
2

Very Good!
Then solve.
3˖1
Median = X ( = X2 = 2
)
2
How about if we have 1, 2, 3 and 4. What is
the median of the given set of data? (Student will stand up)
The median Sir is 2.5 because if we have an
even number of observations, the median is
the average of the 2 middle observations. Or
we can use the formula:

X(n/2) + X(n/2 + 1)
Median = 2
X(4/2) + X(4/2 + 1)
Median = 2
Very good! Exactly! Median = X2+ X3 = 2+3 = 2.5
2 2

Ok! Listen! Median is affected by extreme

(Students will listen)
values or excessive values because we are
just arranging the observations into array and
we are just taking the middle observations,
the rest of the excessive values will no longer
be used.

Compare to mean, which is affected by the

extreme values or excessive values because all
the observations were took in considerations or
all observations are used in the computation.

Am I making myself clear?

Ok! Let’s take this example.

Yes Sir! (in chorus)
Who wants to read the example? Yes?
(Student will read the example)
On a 5 term test in Statistics, a student has
made grades 92, 93, 86, 92, and 79. Find the
median for this population.

6 cigarettes of a certain brand are found to be (Student will read the example)
2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.9, 3.1, and 1.9 milligrams. Find
the median.
a. 2.3 c. 2.5
b. 2.4 d. 2.6

Thank you!
Who wants answer? Yes?
Let’s check if your answer is correct. Let’s (Student will answer the example about
click C. median)
Letter C! Sir! 2.45 or 2.5
Make an array. 1.9, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.9, and
Awesome! 3.1
𝑥̃ = (2.4+2.5) = 2.45 or 2.5 milligrams
2

Are we clear with Median?

Yes Sir! (Chorus)

How about the mode? Who wants to read?

(Student will read the definition of mode)
Yes?

Mode
It is the most frequently occurring
observation in the data set. The value
which occurs most often or with the
greatest frequency.

Thank you!

How about the Types of Mode. Please

(Student will read the types of mode)
read. Yes?
No mode – A data having equal frequency of
observations.
Unimodal – A data having one mode.
Bimodal – A data having two modes.
Multimodal – a data having more than two
modes

Thank you!

So the keyword for mode is … Yes?

(Student will stand up)
MOST FREQUENT Sir!
Very good!
Most frequent! Most common value or the
most frequently occurring value.

For the types of mode, we can easily

understand each type because of its
name.

For no mode, the data have …. Yes? Student will stand up)
Equal frequency Sir! There is no most
common value or no mode for short.

For unimodal, the data have … Yes? (Student will stand up)
1 most common value Sir!

For bimodal, the data have … Yes? (Student will stand up) 2
common values.

(Student will stand up) More

For multimodal, the data have … Yes? Is
two common values.
that clear?
Yes Sir! (Chorus)
Let’ say for example, we have 1, 2, and 3.
No mode Sir! (In chorus)
What’s the mode?
Very good!

How about if we have 1, 1, 2 and 3. What’s the

mode? What type of mode? (Student will stand up)
Very good! Mo = 1, Unimodal
How about if we have 1, 1, 2, 2, and 3.
What’s the mode? What type of mode? (Student will stand up)
Very good! Mo = 1 and 2, Bimodal

How about if we have 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 and 4. (Student will stand up)

What’s the mode? What type of mode? Mo = 1, 2 and 3, Multimodal
Very good! Other

examples:

Who wants to read? Yes? (Student will read the example for Mode)

The number of movies attended last month by

a random sample of 12 Pangil National High
students was recorded as follows: 2, 1, 3, 1, 2,
4, 2, 5, 4, 0, 1, and 4. Find the
mode and determine what type of mode is
being described in this problem.
a. No Mode
b. Mode = 2 movies (Unimodal)
c. Mode = 2 and 4 movies (Bimodal)
d. Mode = 1, 2 and 4 movies (Multimodal)

Thank you!

Who wants to answer?

Let’s check if your answer is correct. Let’s
click D. (Student will stand up)
Very Good! Letter D. Sir. The modes are 1, 2 and 4.
Since the number of modes is 3. It is
More examples of mode! Who wants to multimodal.
answer?

Find the mode of the following and tell

whether it is no mode, unimodal, bimodal,
and multimodal. (Student will stand up)
1.) 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3 and 3. 1. No mode
2.) 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4 and 5. 2. Mo = 4, Unimodal
3.) 1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7, 8, 9, 9, and 9. 3. Mo = 1, 5 and 9, Multimodal

Very good!

So are we clear with the measures of Yes Sir! (Chorus)

tendency for ungrouped data?
Let’s see..
3. Abstraction
Again, what is mean? (Student will answer the question)
Average of all values or sum of values
divided by the number of observations
Very good!

How do you find or compute the mean? (Student will answer the question)
Add all the data and divide the sum by the
Very good! number of data

What is median? (Student will answer the question) Value

that lies in the middle of the data when
arranged in ascending or
descending order of magnitude or middle
Very good! term in an array of observations

How do you find or compute the median? (Student will answer the question)
First we must remember the two cases. If the
number of observations is odd, the median is
only one item at the center. But when the
Very good! number of observations is even, then median
is the average of the two middle observations.

(Student will answer the question)

What is mode? Most common value or the most frequent
value
Very good!

(Student will answer the question)

What are the different types of modes?
How do you find the mode?
Very good!
No mode, unimodal, bimodal and
multimodal
(Student will answer the question)
Observe the given data then count the
data that frequently appears.

F. Closure:

Be a median in a world full of extreme values. – Nikki B. Lucero

(Median is a not affected by extreme values. In life, living in judge-mental society, we should act
like a median, not affected by extreme values or judgments of other people. One of the 7 cardinal
rules in life, in order for us to be happy is what others think of us is none of our business. What
matters is what we think of ourselves, knowing that we are always doing the right thing or we are
on the right path.)
