Lesson 01
Mean, Median and Mode
Solutions
If we collect data by doing an experiment or survey, we need to
make sense of all the numbers. One way of doing this is to find a 1 averages
representative number - a number which stands for all the other
numbers. This number is known as an average. Examples of (2 + 1 + 3 + 6 + 3) 15
a Mean = = =3
averages are the mean, median and mode. 5 5
With the mean we sum up all the data and divide by how many Median = 1, 2, 3, 3, 6 = 3
numbers there are. Quite often the figure we obtain has a different
Mode = 3
format from the data (e.g. if the data has integer values, the mean is
often not an integer) and can be affected by very small or very large
values. However the mean is calculated from all data items
( 2 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 2) 18
With the median, the data is arranged in order of size, then the b Mean = = =3
6 6
middle number (or the average of two middle numbers if the number
of data items is even) is selected. The median is not affected by very 2+3
small or large values. It does not use all data items. Median = 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5 = = 2½
2
With the mode, the data is arranged in order of size and the most Mode = 2
frequently occurring number is selected. The mode is not affected by
very small or large values, but it can be affected by clusters (groups)
of numbers 2 Total weight of 4 men = 73 x 4 = 292
Examples Let the weight of the 5th man be w kg
1 For each of the following sets of numbers, calculate the mean, Total weight of 5 men = 292 + w
median and mode
(292 + w )
a 2, 1, 3, 6, 3 = 72
5
b 2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 2
292 + w = 72 x 5
2 The mean weight of 4 men is 73 kg. Another man joins them, 292 + w = 360
and their mean weight becomes 72 kg. What is the weight of the
5th man? w = 360 - 292
weight of the 5th man is 68 kg

3 Histogram
The histogram is used to display continuous data - i.e. data

which cannot be measured exactly - length, weight, time etc. The
vertical axis measures frequency density where
frequency density = frequency

class interval
Example
Draw a histogram to illustrate the following data:
weight 50< x ≤ 60 60 < x ≤ 65 65 < x ≤ 80 80 < x ≤ 100

(kg) x
