Exercise 4.

Measures of Central Tendency


(Grouped Data)

Instructions: Determine the class mark, cumulative frequency and relative frequency for
each problem and computed for the mean, median, mode, and Quartiles.

1. The air transport association recorded the following on the busiest airport in Metro Manila.
The following frequency distribution has been constructed

Number of passengers arriving and Frequency


departing
30 - 31 5
32 - 33 7
34 - 35 15
36 - 37 21
38- 39 34
40 - 41 24
42 - 43 17
44 - 45 8

2. The following data represent the number of appointments made per 15-minute interval by
telephone solicitation for a lawn-care company. Assume these are population data. Determine
the mean, median and Mode.
Number of Frequency of
Appointments Occurrence
0-1 31
2-3 57
4-5 26
6-7 14
8-9 6
10 - 11 3

SOLUTION:

Class Frequency (f) Midpoint (M) Relative Cumulative fM


Interval Frequency Frequency

0–1 31 0.5 0.23 31 15.5


2–3 57 2.5 0.42 88 142.5
4–5 26 4.5 0.19 114 117
6–7 14 6.5 0.10 128 91
8–9 6 8.5 0.04 134 51
10 – 11 3 10.5 0.02 137 31.5

Total ∑f = 137 ∑fM = 448.5


MEAN:

∑𝑓𝑚 448.5
𝑋̅ = ∑𝑓 = 137 = 3.27

MODE:

The class interval with the greatest frequency is 57, hence, the mode is 2.5.

MEAN:

Md = L + 𝑓𝑚𝑒𝑑
(i)

N/2 = 137/2 = 68.5; cfb = 31; fmdc = 57; Lmd = 1.5; i=2
68.5−31 37.5
Md = 1.5 + (2) = 1.5 + (2) = 1.5 + 1.32  Md = 2.82
57 57

3. Northwestern distribution company surveyed 53 of its midlevel managers. The survey


obtained the ages of these managers, which later were organized into the frequency
distribution.

Class Interval Frequency


20 - 25 8
25 - 30 6
30 - 35 5
35 - 40 12
40 - 45 15
45 - 50 7

SOLUTION:

Class Frequency (f) Midpoint (M) Relative Cumulative fM


Interval Frequency Frequency

21 – 25 8 23 0.15 8 184
26 – 30 6 28 0.11 14 168
31 – 35 5 33 0.09 19 165
36 – 40 12 38 0.23 31 456
41 – 45 15 43 0.28 46 645
46 – 50 7 48 0.13 53 336

Total ∑f = 53 ∑fM = 1,954


MEAN:

∑𝑓𝑚 1,954
𝑋̅ = ∑𝑓 = 53 = 36.87

MODE:

The class interval with the greatest frequency is 15, hence, the mode is 43.

MEAN:

Md = L + 𝑓𝑚𝑒𝑑
(i)

N/2 = 53/2 = 26.5; cfb = 19; fmdc = 12; Lmd = 35.5; i=5
26.5−19 7.5
Md = 35.5 + 12
(5) = 35.5 + 12
(5) = 35.5 + 3.125  Md = 38.63
