Methods of Centre Measurement (Measures of
Central Tendency)
Mean: Summing up all the observation and dividing by
number of observations. Mean of 20, 30, 40 is (20+30+40)/3
= 30.

Centre Measurement is a summary measure of the overall
level of a dataset
Commonly used methods are Mean, Median, Mode, Geometric mean
Harmonic Mean
1
Median and Mode
Median: The middle value in an ordered sequence of
observations.
That is, to find the median we need to order the data set and then
find the middle value.
In case of an even number of observations the average of the two
middle most values is the median.
e.g Median of {9, 3, 6, 7, 5}, we first sort the data giving {3, 5,
6, 7, 9}, then choose the middle value 6. If the number of
observations is even, e.g., {9, 3, 6, 7, 5, 2}, then the median is
the average of the two middle values from the sorted sequence
{2,3,5,6,7,9} in this case, (5 + 6) / 2 = 5.5.
Mode: The value that is observed most frequently. The mode is
undefined for sequences in which no observation is repeated.
2
Mean or Median
The median is less sensitive to outliers (extreme scores) than the
mean and thus a better measure than the mean for highly skewed
distributions, e.g. family income.
For example mean of 20, 30, 40, and 990 is
(20+30+40+990)/4 =270.
The median of these four observations is (30+40)/2 =35.
Here 3 observations out of 4 lie between 20-40.
So, the mean 270 really fails to give a realistic picture of the major
part of the data.
It is influenced by extreme value 990.

Business statistics (Methods of Centre Measurement)

  • 1. Methods of Centre Measurement (Measures of Central Tendency) Mean: Summing up all the observation and dividing by number of observations. Mean of 20, 30, 40 is (20+30+40)/3 = 30. n x n xxx x x nxxx n i i n n     121 ,21 ... variabletheofmeanThen the. variableaofnsobservatioare...,Let:Notation Centre Measurement is a summary measure of the overall level of a dataset Commonly used methods are Mean, Median, Mode, Geometric mean Harmonic Mean 1
  • 2. Median and Mode Median: The middle value in an ordered sequence of observations. That is, to find the median we need to order the data set and then find the middle value. In case of an even number of observations the average of the two middle most values is the median. e.g Median of {9, 3, 6, 7, 5}, we first sort the data giving {3, 5, 6, 7, 9}, then choose the middle value 6. If the number of observations is even, e.g., {9, 3, 6, 7, 5, 2}, then the median is the average of the two middle values from the sorted sequence {2,3,5,6,7,9} in this case, (5 + 6) / 2 = 5.5. Mode: The value that is observed most frequently. The mode is undefined for sequences in which no observation is repeated. 2
  • 3. Mean or Median The median is less sensitive to outliers (extreme scores) than the mean and thus a better measure than the mean for highly skewed distributions, e.g. family income. For example mean of 20, 30, 40, and 990 is (20+30+40+990)/4 =270. The median of these four observations is (30+40)/2 =35. Here 3 observations out of 4 lie between 20-40. So, the mean 270 really fails to give a realistic picture of the major part of the data. It is influenced by extreme value 990. 3
