SUMMARY STATISTIC THAT
REPRESENTS THE

CENTER POINT TYPICAL VALUE

OF A

MEASURES OF CENTRAL

IN STATISTICS THE MOST

COMMON MEASURES OF
CENTRAL TENDENCY ARE THE

EACH OF THESE MEASURES CALCULATES

Mean MEASURES OF CENTRAL

THE ARITHMETIC
AVERAGE
AND IT IS THE PROBABLY THE
MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
THAT YOU ARE
MOST FAMILIAR. ADD UP ALL OF THE
VALUES AND DIVIDE
X1 + X 2 + . . . + X n BY THE NUMBER OF
n OBSERVATIONS IN
YOUR DATASET
Mean MEASURES OF CENTRAL
TENDENCY
THE CALCULATION OF THE MEAN INCORPORATES
ALL THE VALUES IN THE DATA.
IF YOU CHANGE ANY
VALUE
THE MEAN
CHANGES.

SAMPLE SOLUTION NO.1

{ 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, 28, 30 }

ADD UP ALL OF THE VALUES

= 270
DIVIDE BY THE NUMBER OF
OBSERVATIONS

270/15= 18

VALUE. ORDER YOUR DATA
IT IS THE VALUE
THAT SPLITS
FROM SMALLEST TO
THE DATASET LARGEST, AND THEN
IN HALF FIND THE DATA
POINT THAT HAS
AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF
VALUES ABOVE IT
AND BELOW IT.

LOCATING THE MEDIAN
VARIES SLIGHTLY DEPENDING
ON WHETHER YOUR DATASET
HAS AN
ODD
OR
EVEN
