MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
CONSIDER THE SAMPLE 13, 19, 18, 20, 16, 9, 10, 7,
AND 8. FIND THE MEAN, MEDIAN AND MODE.
Solution:

13.33
FROM THE SAME SAMPLE DATA, 13, 19, 18, 20, 16, 9,
10, 7, AND 8. FIND THE MEDIAN.

Solution:
Step 1. Arrange the data.
Data Array: 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 16, 18, 19, 20
Step 2. Compute the median.

n=9 is odd , thus, the 5th value is the median.

Therefore, median=13.
FROM THE SAME SAMPLE DATA. FIND THE MODE.

Solution:
Data Array: 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 16, 18, 19, 20

Since there is no repeated values, therefore,

there is “No mode”.
ADIDAS SOLD 120 RUNNING SHOES FOR A REGULAR
PRICE OF ₱5,000. FOR SUMMER SALE THE PRICE WAS
REDUCED TO ₱3,500 AND 150 WERE SOLD. AT THE FINAL
CLEARANCE, THE PRICED WAS REDUCED TO ₱2,500 AND
THE REMAINING 80 WERE SOLD. WHAT WAS THE
WEIGHTED MEAN PRICE OF ADIDAS RUNNING SHOES?
