Introduction
Given your grades for the third quarter in your eight subjects:
85, 83, 80, 84, 82, 84, 87, 83
a) What is your average grade?
b) How did you find your average grade?

Activity
Given the set of scores
2, 3, 7, 6, 9, 8, 5, 4, 6, 5, 6

I- Get the average

II- a) Arrange the scores in ascending/increasing order.
b) What is the middlemost score?
III- What score or number appears most often?

Generalization
a) Mean of a set of data is the sum of the elements in the set divided by the
number of elements in the set.
b) Median is the middle number of a set of data when they are arranged in
numerical order.
c) Mode is the number that occurs most often in a set of data.
Application
