Example
The following frequency distribution represents the ages of 30 students in a statistics
class. Find the mean of the frequency distribution.

Mean ̅= = = 30.0
The mean age of the students is 30.3 years.
Median الىسيط
The median value of a set of data is the middle value of the ordered data.
- If n is an even number عدد زوجي, The median position is , +1 . (For ordinal level
of data, choose any one on the two middle positions).
Example
Find the median of the following:
a) 11, 4, 9, 7, 10, 5, 6
Ordering the data gives: 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11
n = 7 (odd number)
4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11
Median = 7
b) 11 ,4 ,9 ,9 ,7 ,10 ,5 ,6
Ordering the data gives: 4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,9 ,9 ,10 ,11
n = 8 (even number)
4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,9 ,9 ,10 ,11
Here there is a middle pair 7 and 9. The median is between these 2 values i.e. the mean of
them
Median = =8

Mode المنىال
The data entry that occurs with the greatest frequency. A data set may have one mode,
more than one mode, or no mode. If no entry is repeated the data set has no mode.
Example
Find the mode for: 2, 6, 3, 9, 5, 6, 2, 6
It can be seen that the most frequently occurring value is 6

For grouped data
The following formula is applied for calculation of mode:

Where:
: lower limit of modal class

2- 4
3- 8
4- 7
Modal class 5- 20
6- 3
7-8 2
