MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
CONSIDER THE SAMPLE 13, 19, 18, 20, 16, 9, 10, 7,

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”.
