MEAN MEDIAN MODE

𝑋̃ = 𝐿𝐵𝑚 + ( )𝑖
x̅ = = 𝐿𝐵𝑚𝑜 + ( ) 𝑖
 MEAN x̅ =
where:
x̅ is the mean,
∑ 𝑓𝑋 is the sum of the products of the frequency and its
corresponding class mark, and
n is the total frequency.
Class mark (x) is the mid value of the class interval. It
can be solved by adding the lower class limit and upper
class limit and divided by 2.

The mean of the scores of students in their

Mathematics exam is 39.8.
 MEDIAN
𝑋̃ = + ()𝑖

Where:
𝑋̃ = median,
is the lower boundary of the median class,
< 𝑐𝑓𝑏 is the cumulative frequency immediately
below/lower than the median class,
is the frequency of the median class, and
𝑖 is the class size.

The median of the scores of student in Mathematics exam is

39.11.
 MODE

where:
is the mode,
is the lower boundary of the modal class,
is the difference between the frequencies of the modal
class and the next lower class,
is the difference between the frequencies of the modal
class and the next upper class

Solution:
The class interval 36 – 40 is the modal class because it has
the greatest number of frequencies.
 𝐿𝐵𝑚𝑜 = 35.5 = 𝐿𝐵𝑚𝑜 + ( ) 𝑖
=9–4=5 = 35.5 + ( ) 5
=9–3=6 = 35.5 + (0.4545)10
𝑖=5
= 35.5 + 4.5455
= 40.0455 or 40.05

The mode of the scores of students in Mathematics exam is

40.05.

Since, the 13th – 23rd belongs to class interval 25-29, then
the 15th score is also within the said class interval.
𝑋̃ = 𝐿𝐵𝑚 + ( )𝑖
= 24.5 + ( )5
= 24.5 + 1
𝑋̃ = 25.5
Mode
The mode is in class interval 25-29, since it has
the greatest number of frequency.
𝐿𝐵𝑚𝑜 = 24.5
= 24.5 + ( ) 5
= 10 – 7 = 3
= 24.5 + (0.375)5
= 10 – 5 = 5
= 24.5 + 1.875
𝑖=5
= 26.375 or 26.38
