Understanding Mean, Median, and Mode

Statistics involves the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data, and is a branch of applied mathematics. Key concepts include measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and measures of dispersion (variance, standard deviation). The mean is the average of a set, the median is the middle value, and the mode is the most frequently occurring value in a dataset.

STATISTICS

 Statistics is the study of the collection, analysis,


interpretation, presentation, and organization of data.

 Also, we can say that statistics is a branch of applied


mathematics.

 The basics of statistics include the measure of central


tendency and the measure of dispersion.

 The central tendencies are mean, median and mode and


dispersions comprise variance and standard deviation.
MEAN
 Mean is the numerical average of a set of numbers.

 It is calcualated by adding all the values in a set and


then dividing by the number of values.

Sum of all the values in a set


MEAN =
Total number of values in a set
MEDIAN
 The Median is the middle value.

 It is calculated by ordering the values and then


choosing the value in the middle .
 For example:
• Weight of the children : 25,26,30,32,22
• Order : 22,25,26,30,32
• Median : 26
MEDIAN(Even number of values)
 To calculate Median of the even number of data, order
the data , find the middle values and then calculate
themean or average between the two middle values.

 For example :
 Scores of the test: 26,30,25,22,24,29
 Order : 22,24,25,26,29,30
 Median : (25+26)÷2 = 51÷2 = 25.5
MODE
 Mode is the value that occurs frequently in a given set
of data.

 It is calculated just by looking for the most frequently


repeated data.

 For example
 Temperature in a week: 23,27,26,24,23,22,23
 Mode : 23
