 Lesson 1:
Measures of Central Tendency
of Ungrouped Data
 CENTRAL
MEASURE
TENDENCY

It means “average value

It means “method” of any statistical series”
 CENTRAL TENDENCY
 It means the methods of finding out the central value or average
value of statistical series of quantitative information.

 In a simpler term, it is where most values fall.

 It aims to provide an accurate description of the entire data in

the distribution.

 It can be found using three important measures

or descending order.
 MEAN
 It is the sum of the measurements divided by the number
of cases in a set of data.
 It is found by adding the measurement of
observation and dividing the sum by the number of
observations.
Example:
Use the formula to calculate the mean number of hours that Dr.
Billy worked each day based on the example below.

STAFF MON TUE WED THUR FRI

Example:
Use the formula to calculate the mean number of hours that Dr.
Billy worked each day based on the example below.
STAFF MON TUE WED THUR FRI
Doctor
Billy
10 8 10 12 10

Step 1: Get the total Step 2: Divide by the total

number of hours number of days
 MEDIAN

 It is the value of the middle number when the

measurements are arranged in ascending or descending
order.
STEP #1
 To find the median, arrange first the
measurements in ascending or descending order and
then consider the two cases.
STEP #2
CASE 1: If the number of cases is odd, the middle measurement is
the median.

75 78 77 75 80 82 77

Arranging in ascending order: 75 75 77 77 78 80

82

Arranging in descending order: 82 80 78 77 77 75

75

The middle score is 77. Therefore, = 77.

CASE 2: If the number of cases is even, the median is the average
of the two middle measurements.

62 70 72 72 78 68

Arranging in ascending order: 62 68 70 72 72 78

Notice we have even scores so:

 Mode

 It is the most frequent measurement in the data.

 There is no need for calculation in finding the mode.

 The trick is to observe which measurement occurs most

frequent.
Example #1:

STAFF MON TUE WED THUR FRI

Doctor
Billy 10 8 10 12 10

10 is the most frequent number of hours. Therefore,

Example #2:
68 70 72 72 78 68

There are two most frequent scores which are 68 and 72. In this
case, the set of data is bimodal.

Note: If there is only one mode, it is called unimodal.

If there are three modes, it is called trimodal.
If there are more than three modes, it is called
multimodal.
Example #3:
5 9 8 10 1 There is no mode.

 Tips when Using Measures of
Central Tendency
MEAN

 It is the most reliable average to use because it involves

all scores in the data.

 But, it is NOT RECOMMENDED if there are extreme

values in the given set of data
 Tips when Using Measures of
Central Tendency
MEDIAN

 It is not affected by extreme values.

 However, it DOES NOT GIVE INFORMATION about

how data are distributed.
 Tips when Using Measures of
Central Tendency

MODE

 It is the most useful measure of average when it comes to

qualitative data.

definition in the right. Draw the corresponding emoticons
before each number.
