Teacher: Ms. Jolina Gabayno Date: September 6, 2023

I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. Define the measures of central tendency, and specifically the mean.
2. Calculate the Mean of a set of data.
3. Understand the use and implications of mean as a measure of central
tendency.
4. Value the importance of mean in real-world situations.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

TOPIC: Measures of Central Tendency: Mean

MATERIALS: Powerpoint Presentation, whiteboard, markers, laptop and monitor.
III. PROCEDURE

1. ROUTINE ACTIVITIES
- Prayer
- Greetings
- Checking of Attendance
2. REVIEW: (BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION – BINARY CHOICE EXPERIMENT)
Objective: Grasp the basic concept of binomial distribution using a simple
experiment.

Instructions:
- Get each student a coin to flip 20 times. They will record the number of
heads (success) and tails (failure).
- Ask the students to calculate the probability of getting heads in each toss.
- Encourage students to share their findings and explain how their results
reflect a binomial distribution pattern.
3. MOTIVATION: “Guess the Mean” Activity
Instructions:
1. Prepare a set of simple data points, like ages or test scores, on a
whiteboard or presentation slide.
2. Ask each participant to guess what they think the mean (average) of
those data point is.
3. Write down their guesses next to the data.
4. Calculate the actual mean.
5. Discuss the concept of mean and how close or far their guesses were
from the actual mean.
 6. This activity helps participants understand the concept of mean and
engages them in the topic.
IV. LESSON PROPER
A. INTRODUCTION
- What is Central Tendency?
o Measures of Central Tendency are used in statistics to indicate a
“central” or “typical” value within a dataset. The main measures of
central tendency are: Mean, Median, and Mode.
- Define Mean as a measure of Central Tendency.
o Mean: This is also known as average of a distribution. From which it
is the sum of all measurements divided by the number of
observations in the set of data. Mean is the most commonly used
among the three measures of central tendency.
o For Ungrouped Data: it refers to raw data where each individual
data point is distinct and not grouped into intervals. To calculate the
mean (average) for ungrouped data, follow these steps:
▪ Step 1: Add up all the individual data points.
▪ Step 2: Count the total number of data point (𝑁).
▪ Step 3: Use the formula for the mean:
∑𝑥
̅=
X
𝑁
̅ = mean
X
∑ 𝑥 = represents the sum of all data points.
𝑁 = the total number of data points.
o For Grouped Data: it involves organizing data into intervals or
classes. To calculate the mean for grouped data, follow these steps
▪ Step 1: Find the midpoint (x) of each interval.
▪ Step 2: Determine the frequency (f) of data points in each
interval.
▪ Step 3: Calculate the product of frequency and midpoint for
each interval (fX).
▪ Step 4: Sum up the products of frequency and midpoint
(∑(𝑓𝑋)).
▪ Step 5: Sum up the frequencies (∑ 𝑓).
▪ Step 6: Use the formula for the mean:
∑𝑛 = 1𝑓𝑖 𝑥𝑖
̅= 𝑖
X
𝑁
̅
X = mean
𝑓𝑖 = frequency
𝑁 = total number of values

B. GUIDED PRACTICE
Here’s a simple example for ungrouped data:
 Suppose you have a dataset of exam scores for five students: 85, 92, 78,
89, and 94.
1. Add up all the scores: 85 + 92 + 78 + 89 + 94 = 438.
2. Count the total number of data points (N), which is 5.
3. Use the formula:
438
̅
X= = 87.6
5
So, the mean exam score is 87.6 for this ungrouped data.

Here’s an example with grouped data:

Suppose you have data on the ages (in years) of people in a survey,
grouped into intervals:
Age Interval Midpoint (X) Frequency (f)
20 – 29 24.5 8
30 – 39 34.5 12
40 – 49 44.5 10
50 – 59 54.5 7
60 – 69 64.5 3

1. Calculate the product of frequency and midpoint for each interval (fX).
2. Sum up the products of frequency and midpoint (∑(𝑓𝑋)).
3. Sum up the frequencies (∑ 𝑓).
4. Use the formula:
∑𝑛 = 1𝑓𝑖 𝑥𝑖
̅= 𝑖
X
𝑁
By following these steps, you can calculate the mean age for this grouped
data.
Remember that grouped data uses midpoints as approximations, and the
mean represents the central value for the intervals.
C. INDEPENDENT PRATICE (REAL – LIFE SITUATIONS)

Suppose you have the following grouped data for the heights (in inches) of
a group of students:

Height (in inches) Frequency

60 - 62 3
63 - 65 8
66 - 68 10
69 - 71 7
72 - 74 2
 ANSWER:

To calculate the mean:

1. Find the midpoint for each in interval: (61, 64, 67, 70, 73).
2. Calculate the product of frequency and midpoint for each interval and
sum them: (3 x 61) + (8 x 64) + (10 x 67) + (7 x 70) + (2 x 73).
3. Sum the frequencies: 3 + 8 + 10 + 7 + 2.
4. Use the formula to calculate the mean:
∑𝑛𝑖 = 1𝑓𝑖 𝑥𝑖
̅
X=
𝑁
(3 x 61) + (8 x 64) + (10 x 67) + (7 x 70) + (2 x 73)
̅
X=
3 + 8 + 10 + 7 + 2

183 + 512 + 670 + 490 + 146

̅
X=
30
2001
̅
X=
30
̅
X = 66.7
The mean height of the grouped data is 66.7.

D. Real – Life Data Analysis

1. Group Activity (10 minutes):

• Divide students into groups.
• Distribute different real – life datasets (e.g., population, statistics,
weather data).
• Have each group calculate the mean and discuss its significance.
2. Group Presentations (5 minutes):
• Each group presents their findings and interpretations to the
class.

V. Assignment

Suppose you have the following grouped data for the ages (in years) of a group
of students:

AGES FREQUENCY
18 – 20 2
21 – 23 4
24 – 26 9
27 – 29 8
30 – 32 11
33 – 35 7
 36 – 38 3
39 – 41 1
42 – 44 5

VI. Closure
• Summarize the key points of the lesson.
• Highlight the practical applications of mean in real – life situations.

VII. Reflection
• Ask students to reflect on how understanding the mean can be valuable
in their future careers or in solving real-world problems.
