This document provides information about measures of central tendency and variability for grouped and ungrouped data. It discusses how frequency and class width can affect the results of finding measures of central tendency for grouped data. Examples of how measures of central tendency and variability are used in everyday life include using average ratings as a measure of popularity for products and using standard deviation to show variability in consumer opinions. In education, standard deviation can demonstrate variability in test scores while mean can indicate central tendency.

In your own words, explain the process of finding the measures of central tendencies
Measures of central tendency are statistical tools used to
determine the central or typical value of a dataset. There are three common measures of central tendency: the mean, median, and mode.
2. Does frequency and class width affect the results of
finding the measures of central tendency. Why and Why not?
Yes, frequency and class width can affect the results of
finding the measures of central tendency. The class width determines the range of values included in each class, and a narrower class width provides more detail but may result in smaller frequencies. Meanwhile, the frequency of each class represents the number of data points within that class and carries more weight in determining the measures of central tendency.
3. Give each one an example on how measures of central
tendency and variability may be used in everyday life. Support your answer To summarize and interpret data, central tendency and variability measures are frequently employed in daily life. One indicator of central tendency that can show a product's overall popularity is its average rating on an e- commerce website. A measure of variability that demonstrates how varied the consumer opinions are is the range of ratings or the standard deviation of ratings. Another instance is in education, where the standard deviation or variance can be used as measures of variability to demonstrate the degree of dispersion of the results, while the mean score on a test can be used as a measure of central tendency to indicate central tendency. Individuals can use these metrics to get knowledge from data and make wise judgments in their daily life.
