V. PROCEDURES
Introductory Activity Facilitator: May I request everyone to please stand for a prayer.
(Students stand and pray)
Facilitator: Good afternoon class.
Students: Good afternoon teacher Mayco!
Facilitator: Class, before you take your seat kindly align your chairs and pick up
pieces of garbage under it.
(Students arrange their chairs)
Facility: Thank you, class. You may now take your seat.
Students: Thank you, teacher.
(The teacher will check the attendance.)
Facilitator: Today you are expected to illustrate the measures of central tendency
(mean, median, and mode) of a statistical data, solves the mean, median and
mode of a statistical data and appreciate the importance of the measures of
central tendency in real life. Are you ready class?
Students: Yes sir!
Activity/Strategy Facilitator: In your notebook, I want you to write the number of “t-shirts, pair of
shoes, and long or short pants you have. You have 2 minutes to do the activity.
Are you done?
Students: Yes Sir!
Facilitator: Kindly find the frequently occurring color and the average of your t-
shirts, shoes and pants. Are you done?
Students: Yes Sir!
(The teacher will call random students to share their output.)
Students: (Answers may vary.)
Facilitator: This activity is related to our topic today which is the measures of
central tendency.
Analysis Facilitator: Measures of central tendency are a key way to discuss and
communicate with graphs. The term central tendency refers to the middle, or
typical, value of a set of data, which is most commonly measured by using the
three m's: mean, median, and mode. The mean, median, and mode are known as
the measures of central tendency. In this lesson, you will explore these three
concepts.
Mean, median, and mode are three basic ways to look at the value of a set of
numbers. You will start by learning about the mean.
The mean, often called the average, of a numerical set of data, is simply the sum
of the data values divided by the number of values. This is also referred to as the
arithmetic mean. The mean is the balance point of a distribution.
Problem 1.Stephen has been working on his farm for the past 15 months. The
following numbers represent the number of hours Stephen has worked on his
farm for each of the past 7 months:
What is the mean (average) number of hours that Stephen worked on his farm
each month?Step 1: Add the numbers to determine the total number of hours he
worked.
24 + 25 +
33 + 50 + 53 + 66 + 78 = 329
The mean number of hours that Stephen worked each month was 47.
The calculations for the mean of a sample and the total population are done in the
same way. However, the mean of a population is constant, while the mean of a
sample varies from sample to sample
Problem 2. Mark operates Technology Titans, a Web site service that employs 8
people. Find the mean age of his workers if the ages of the employees are as
follows: 55, 63, 34, 59, 29, 46, 57, 41
Step 1: Add the numbers to determine the total age of the workers.
55 + 63 + 34 + 59 + 29 + 46 + 57 + 41 = 378
=384/8
=48
Look at another approach. If you were to take a sample of 3 employees from the
group of 8 and calculate the mean age for these 3 workers, would the results
change?
Use the ages 55, 29, and 46 for one sample of 3, and the ages 34, 41, and 59 for
another sample of 3:
The mean age for a sample of a population depends upon the values that are
included in the sample. From this example, you can see that the mean of a
population and that of a sample from the population are not necessarily the same.
In addition to calculating the mean for a given set of data values, you can apply
your understanding of the mean to determine other information that may be asked
for in everyday problems.
The median is the number that falls in the middle position once the data has been
organized. Organized data means the numbers are arranged from smallest to
largest or from largest to smallest. The median for an odd number of data values
is the value that divides the data into two halves. If n represents the number of
data values, then the median will be found in the position.
Try a few examples to follow the steps needed to calculate the median.
Step 2: Since the number of data values is odd, the median will be found in the
4th position. The answer is 10.
Another way to look at the example is to narrow the data down to find the middle
number.
Χ, Χ, 8, 10, 12, Χ, Χ
Χ, Χ, Χ, 10, Χ, Χ, Χ
7, 9, 3, 4, 11, 1, 8, 6, 1, 4
1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11
Step 2: Since the number of data values is even, the median will be the mean
value of the numbers found before and after the position.
Step 3: The number found before the 5.5 position is 4 and the number found after
the 5.5 position is 6. Now, you need to find the mean value.
1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11
The mode of a set of data is simply the value that appears most frequently in the
set.
• If a data set has only one value that occurs most often, the set is called
unimodal.
• A data set that has two values that occur with the same greatest frequency
is referred to as bimodal.
• When a set of data has more than two values that occur with the same
greatest frequency, the set is called multimodal.
When determining the mode of a data set, calculations are not required, but keen
observation is a must. The mode is a measure of central tendency that is simple to
locate, but it is not used much in practical applications.
There is no need to organize the data, unless you think that it would be
easier to locate the mode if the numbers were arranged from least to greatest. In
the above data set, the number 79 appears twice, but all the other numbers appear
only once. Since 79 appears with the greatest frequency, it is the mode of the data
values.
The color blue was worn 11 times during the week. All other colors were
worn with much less frequency in comparison to the color blue.
As with every lesson and module, you are encouraged to research how these
topics pertain to your particular area of study within the world of information
technology. By now you are very aware that not every topic in mathematics will
be directly implemented in your future career field. However, do not rule out the
possibility that this topic might be an integral part of your future until you do
some research.
