UNGROUPED DATA
Mean
The mean for ungrouped data is obtained by
dividing the sum of all values by the number of
values in the data set. Thus,

Median
The calculation of the median consists
of the following two steps:
1. Rank the data set in increasing order
2. Find the middle term in a data set with
n values. The value of this term is the
median.

Example 1:
The following data give the height gained (in
centimeter) by a sample of five members of a
health club at the end of two months of
membership:
10 5 19 8 3
Find the median.
35
Solution:
First, we rank the given data in increasing
order as follows:
3 5 8 10 19
There are five observations in the data set.
Consequently, n = 5 and
n 1 5 1

Therefore, the median is the value of the third
term in the ranked data.

Example:
The following data give the grades of 8
groups in a class.
77 69 74 81 71 68 74 73
Find the mode.
39
Solution:
In this data set, 74 occurs twice and each of the
remaining values occurs only once. Because 74
occurs with the highest frequency, it is the mode.
Therefore,
Mode = 74

Mode
• A data set may have none or many modes,
whereas it will have only one mean and only
one median.
– The data set with only one mode is called
unimodal.
– The data set with two modes is called
bimodal.
– The data set with more than two modes is
called multimodal. 41
Example:
Last year’s incomes of five randomly selected
families were P36 150, P95 750, P54 985, P77
490, and P23 740. Find the mode.
Solution:
Because each value in this data set
occurs only once, this data set contains
no mode.
42
Example:
The prices of the same brand of television
set at eight stores are found to be 495,
486, 503, 495, 470, 505, 470 and 499.
Find the mode.
