 What I Need to Know

This module is designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master Measures of Central Tendency for Grouped and Ungrouped Data.
The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different ways. The
language recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons
are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in
which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are
now using.

This module is divided into four lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 – Measures of Central Tendency for Ungrouped Data
 Lesson 2 – Mean for Grouped Data
 Lesson 3 – Median for Grouped Data
 Lesson 4 – Mode for Grouped Data

Based on the competency, this module is crafted to help the students

illustrate the measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) of
statistical data (M7SP-IVf-1) and calculates the measures of central tendency
for grouped and ungrouped data (M7SP-IVf-g-1).

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. define and illustrate mean, median, and mode;
2. calculate the mean, median, and mode for grouped and ungrouped
data;
3. apply mean, median, and mode in real-life situations; and
4. cite uses of mean, median, and mode in real-life situations.

Measures of Central Tendency

Think of This! Symbol Description
1. Mean x  the most popular among the
measures of central tendency
for it is widely used
 the sum of all numbers divided
by how many numbers are
commonly there in a set of data
called read as  it indicates a point around with
average “x bar” the value in the distribution
balance
 it is also affected by extreme
values
2. Median ~
x  the value in the distribution
which divides the data into two
equal parts. The data should
be arranged in increasing or
decreasing order.
 the arrangement of data in
commonly increasing or decreasing order
read as
called the is called an array
“x tilde”
middle value  the median is used when we
want to know the value in
which half of the scores are
more extreme and half are
less extreme
3. Mode ^x  the number that occurs most
often in a set of data
 a set of data can have more
than one mode or no mode at
all
Remember this!
commonly Nonmodal– no mode
read as Unimodal– one mode
called the “x hat” Bimodal – two modes
frequently
Trimodal – three modes
occurring Multimodal – four or more
value modes in a set of data.

f - frequency of each class interval
x - the class mark of each class interval
Σ - the summation symbol

The mode is the value that occurs most often in a set of data.
There can be one mode, two or more modes, or no mode. It is best used for
data that call for a nominal scale as a measure of popularity.

1. Mode ( x^ )  is the measure with the highest frequency in a set of data.

Note: Mode is used for data which calls for a nominal scale
as a measure of popularity.

2. Modal class  is the class with the highest frequency

i=5 ∑ f =40

Since the class interval, 26 – 30 ( from 26 to 30 ) has the highest

frequency, therefore the modal class is 25.5.

LLmo = 25.5 , d1 = 14 – 8 = 6 , d2 = 14 – 7 = 7, i = 5

Solve using the formula:

Mode ( ^x ) = LLmo + [ d1

Therefore, the mode of the quarterly scores in Math is 27.81.
