MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY


IMPORTANT POINTS:

Ungrouped Data Data sets which are not grouped into classes. Example: The masses of six pupils in kilogram: 50, 52, 55, 60, 55, 59.

Ungrouped Data (in a Frequency Table) Data sets which are not grouped into classes but are presented in Frequency Table. Example: Number of Books Read 0 1 2 3 4 Number of Students 5 6 8 4 2

Grouped Data Data sets which are grouped into classes and presented in Frequency Table. Example: Number of Books Read 01 2-3 4-5 6-7 8-9 Number of Students 11 12 15 8 7

Mode = The value which is repeated the most number of times in a set of data.

Mode = The value of data which has the highest frequency.

Modal Class = The class with highest frequency. Mode is obtained from the highest bar of a histogram with the procedure as shown below. Modal class frequency

x = sum of all the values of

data. N = number of values of data.

x = value of data f = frequency

x = class mid-point f = frequency

Median, m = the value in the middle position of a set of data after the data are arranged in ascending order.

Median, m = the value in the middle position of a set of data after the data are arranged in ascending order.

Median, m
N F 2 = Lm + c fm

Lm = lower boundary of the median class. N = sum of frequency. F = cumulative frequency of the class before the median class. fm = frequency of the median class c = size of the median class.

EFFECTS OF UNIFORM CHANGES IN A SET OF DATA ON THE MODE, MEAN AND MEDIAN: 1. When a constant number k is added or subtracted to each data in a set, then * the new mode = original mode k * the new mean = original mean k * the new median = original median k 2. When a constant number k is multiplied to each data in a set, then * the new mode = k x original mode. * the new mean = k x original mean. * the new median = k x original median. When two sets of data, i.e. set X and set Y are combined, then Combined mean =

x + y
Nx + Ny

7.2 OGIVE
An ogive is a statistical graph which is drawn of cumulative frequency of a set of grouped data against its frequency class of upper boundary. An ogive can be used to estimate the median, m, first quartile, Q1 and third quartile, Q3 of the grouped data. Cumulative frequency, F

3N 4 N 2 N 4
Q1m Q3

N = Sum of frequency Q1 = First quartile m = Median Q3 = Third quartile Upper boundary

To draw an ogive, a Cumulative Frequency & Upper Boundary table has to be built. A class with zero frequency and its upper boundary also need to be created. Example: Mass / kg 20 29 30 39 40 49 50 59 60 69 70 79 Frequency, f 0 8 10 8 14 10 Cumulative frequency, F 0 8 18 26 40 50 Upper boundary 29.5 39.5 49.5 59.5 69.5 79.5

A graph is then plotted with its cumulative frequency against upper boundary to give an ogive.
