Measures of Central Tendency (Grouped)

A. Complete the table below. Compute for the mean, median, and mode given the age bracket of the workers in
a certain industry, then answer the questions that follow:

AGE Frequency Class Mark cf< cf>

45 – 47 4 46 4 7
42 – 44 4 43 8 11
39 – 41 2 40 10 15
36 – 38 9 37 19 17
33 – 35 6 34 25 26
30 – 32 2 31 27 32
27 – 29 9 28 36 34
24 – 26 2 25 38 43
21 – 23 5 22 43 45
18 – 20 7 19 50 50
Compute for each of the following. Show necessary solutions.
1. Mean = 31.6

2. Median = 33

3. Mode = (27-29) → 28 (36-38) → 36.6

 4. Answer the following based on the table/ data above:

a. What is the average age of the workers in that certain industry? 31.6 years
b. How old is the common workers of the industry? 28 years
c. How many of the workers aged below 30? 25 workers
d. How many of the workers aged above 35? 25 workers
e. What age divides the workers into halves? 33

B. Given are the monthly salaries of the 14 Math professors of a certain university. What measure of central
tendency would best describe their average salary? Why? Show necessary solutions. (5 points)
Monthly Salary Number of Professors (f)
Php 15, 000 and above 3
14, 500 – 14, 999 2
14, 000 – 14, 499 4
13, 500 – 13, 999 1
13, 499 and below 4
To determine the best measure of central tendency to describe the average
salary of the Math professors, the most appropriate measure of central tendency would
be the weighted mean.

The weighted mean takes into account both the values of the salaries and their
corresponding frequencies, providing a more accurate representation of the average
salary.

Let's calculate the weighted mean using the given data:

Midpoint for each salary range:

Php 15,000 and above: Php 15,000

Php 14,500 - 14,999: Php 14,750

Php 14,000 - 14,499: Php 14,250

Php 13,500 - 13,999: Php 13,750

Php 13,499 and below: Php 13,250

Therefore, the weighted mean monthly salary of the Math professors is approximately
Php 14,160.71. This measure provides the most accurate representation of the average
salary considering the distribution of salaries across different salary ranges and their
corresponding frequencies.
