Class Limits
•This pertains to the lowest and the highest value that can
go in each class.
Lower Class Limit
• This refers to the lowest value that can be entered in a
class.
Upper Class Limit
•This pertains to the highest value that can be entered in a
class.
SerJhob

STATS&PROB
Class Boundary
•This is considered as the true limit or real limit. The class
boundary can be obtained by simply adding 0.5 to the
upper limit and subtracting 0.5 from the lower limit.
Class Width or Class Size
• Getting the difference between the boundaries
• Getting the difference between two successive lower
limits or two successive upper limits
Frequency it pertains to the number of values that fall in a
certain class.

STATS&PROB
Midpoint (Class Mark)
•This is a value that acts as representative of a certain class. It
can be obtained by adding the lower and upper limit divided
by two.
Less than Cumulative Frequency Distribution
• This refers to the distribution whose frequencies are less
than or below the upper class boundary they correspond to.
Greater than Cumulative Frequency Distribution
• This refers to the distribution whose frequencies are greater
than or above the upper class boundary they correspond to.

STATS&PROB
SerJhob
Midterm – Lesson 1 & 2

STATS&PROB
Objectives
After studying this lesson, you are expected to:
•Define measures of central tendency;
•Define mean, median and mode;
•Enumerate the advantages and disadvantages of each
measure;
•Calculate mean, median and mode for group and ungrouped
data; and
•Apply mean, median and mode in various fields of science
and specialization.
SerJhob

STATS&PROB
Measures of Central Tendency
•A statistical measure that gives information regarding the
central location of the score relative to the entire set of data.
Thus, this measure is designed to give numerical description
about the set of data gathered not on making numerical
inferences. Three commonly used Measures of Central
Tendency are the mean, median and mode.
SerJhob

STATS&PROB
The Mean
•The most popular measure of central tendency and
sometimes layman calls it average.
Population Mean
•The sum of all the values taken from the population (𝑁)
divided by the total number of units distributed. (𝜇) mu
Sample Mean
•The sum of all the values taken from the sample (n) divided
by the total number of units considered. (x)
SerJhob

STATS&PROB
ADVANTAGES
• Mean can be easily computed and is subject to less error
• Every observation contributes to the value of the mean
• This is the best measure for regular distribution.
• This is the most reliable because all observations contribute to the
value of the mean.
DISADVANTAGES
• Mean does not give information regarding the homogeneity and
heterogeneity of the distribution.
• It can be easily affected by extreme values/outliers.
• The more the distribution becomes heterogeneous the lower
satisfactory is the mean.

The Median
•The weakness of the mean leads us to examine another
measure of central tendency which is not affected by few
extreme values – the median.
•It is a positional measure that divides the distribution into
two equal parts when the data is arranged in order. 𝑀𝑑
•The median is considered the most stable measure of central
tendency of the distribution is irregular.
SerJhob

STATS&PROB
ADVANTAGES
•This is not easily influenced by extreme values.
•This is the best measure for irregular distribution.
DISADVANTAGES
•It requires arrangement of the data according to
their sizes.
•It is erroneous if the data do not cluster in the
middle of the distribution.
SerJhob

STATS&PROB
Procedure for Ungrouped Data
1. Arrange the numerical data in ascending or descending order.
2. When the observation is odd, get the middle most value to be the
median of the class.
3. When the observation is even, add the two middle most values and
divide it by two.

The Mode
•It is the observation that occurs most frequently in the data
and the observation that occurs more than once.
•It is very effective in describing nominal data.
•The mode of the distribution may or may not exist.

STATS&PROB
ADVANTAGES
•It is always a real value since it does not fall on zero.
•It does not require calculation and is simple to approximate.
•It does not need Mathematical manipulation if the data is
ungrouped.
•It is not easily affected by extreme values.
DISADVANTAGES
•It gives limited information about the distribution.
•It is sometimes misleading and subject to error.

•KINDS OF MODE
•Unimodal – if the distribution has one mode.
•Bimodal – if the distribution has two scores that are most
frequently occurring.
•Multimodal – if the distribution has two or more scores that
are equally occurring in terms of frequency (also known as
polymodal).

PROBLEM 9
•Find the mode of the data.
1 2 2 1 3 2 3 5
Just by looking at the data, we find the frequency of 2 is 3
and it is more than the frequency of all the other scores.
So, the mode of the data is 2, or modal score is 2.
The kind of mode is unimodal.

•Below are the scores (out of 20 items) earned by the student
in 8 different examinations:

Find the modal score
Just by looking at the data, we find the frequency of 12 is 2
and it is more than the frequency of all the other scores.
So, the mode of the data is 12, or modal score is 12.
The kind of the mode is unimodal.

Just by looking at the data, we find the frequencies of 4 and
1 are both 3 and it is more than the frequency of all the
other scores.
So, the mode of the data is 1 and 4.
The kind of mode is bimodal.

PROBLEM 12
•Find the mode of the data, given the following scores:

Just by looking at the data, we find the frequencies of 10, 11
and 7 have 2 and it is more than the frequency of all the
other scores.
So, the mode of the data is 10, 11 and 2.
The kind of mode is multimodal / polymodal.
