7.1 MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
7.1.1 Ungrouped Data
We have learned how to find mode, median and mean of ungrouped data in Form Three. So this is just a
revision for us to remind on it.
Mean
The formula is
N
x
x
∑
=
__
where
(i)

x represents the mean of the data.
(ii) x∑ represents the summation or total of data
(iii) N represents the number of data
Example:
Find the mean of the following set of data.
73, 76, 70, 65, 81, 79.
Solution:
Let x represent a value in the set of data.

Mode
Mode of a set of data is the value that has the highest frequency.
Example:
Given set of data which is 1, 8, 6, 4, 6, 3, 6, 5. Determine the mode.
Solution:
Mode is 6.

Median
Median is the value that lies in the middle of a set of data.
Example:
Given set of data which is 1, 8, 6, 4, 6, 3, 6, 5, 7. Determine the median.
Solution:
At first, arrange the numbers in order.
1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8.
4 values 4 value
Median
Hence, the median is 6.
7.1.2 Grouped Data
Modal Class
The class having the highest frequency is known as the modal class.
Example:
The following frequency distribution table shows the mass of 45 students in a class.
Mass(kg) 50-54 55-59 60-64 65-69 70-74 75-79
Number of students 4 12 13 9 5 2
Determine the modal class.
Solution:
The class having the highest frequency is 60 – 64 kg. Hence, the modal class is 60 – 64 kg.
Finding mode from a histogram
Example:
1. Determine the modal class in the histogram which is the
class 60-69.
2. Join the top vertices of the bar representing the modal
class to the vertices if the adjacent bars, as shown in the
diagram.
3. Determine the value on the horizontal axis at the
intersection of the two lines. This value obtained
represents the mode. Hence, the mode of the
distribution is 63.5 kg.

where
(i) fx∑ represents the summation or total of the
frequency and the class mark that is the mid-point of
the class.
(ii) f∑ represents the summation or total of the
frequency.
Example:
The following frequency distribution table shows the heights of 40 students in a class.
Height(cm) 140-149 150-159 150-169 170-179 180-189
Number of students 1 11 18 8 2

7.1.3 Determining the effects on mode, median and mean when some values in a set of data are
changed
When every data in a set of data is multiplied or divided by a constant c and then added or subtracted
by a constant k, then the new mean, median and mode are given by:
Example:
The mean, mode and median of a set of data are 7.5, 8 and 6 respectively. Find the new mean, mode
and median if every value of the set of data is

Determining the effects on measures of dispersion when some values in a set of data are changed
1. Generally when each data in a set of data is added or subtracted with a constant value, the measures
of dispersion of the new set of data do no change.
2. But, if each value in set of data is multiplied with a constant, k so
The new range= k× original range
The new interquartile range= k× original interquartile range
The new standard deviation= k× original standard deviation
The new varience= k2
× original varience

Page | 92
3. If each value in set of data is divided with a constant, k so
Example:
The interquartile range and standard deviation of asset of data are 5 and 2.5. Find the new interquartile
range and standard deviation if every value of data is divided by 2 followed by an addition of 10.
Solution:
New interquartile range= 5 ÷ 2
= 2.5
New standard deviation= 2.5 ÷ 2
= 1.25
