    Topic 4 Application (Charlton Bernabe)

    Uploaded by

    Charlton Benedict Bernabe
    This document provides information about descriptive statistics and measures of central tendency. It contains examples calculating the mean, median, and mode of various data sets. Specifically, it shows how to calculate the mean, median, and mode for a set of employee hourly rates. It then provides a larger data set showing age ranges and frequencies and demonstrates calculating the mean, median, and mode of that data set. The document is teaching how to use measures of central tendency to summarize and analyze data sets.

    UNIT 4: DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS

    ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

    Teacher Juan needs help! Who should be the valedictorian of the class, Maria or Peter? Write
    your answer on the box provided and show your solution or reasons for your decision. Note:
    There should be only one valedictorian.

    ANSWER:
    NAME MEAN MEDIAN MODE
    Maria 93.42857 94 90, 95, 94

    Peter 93.42857 94 95, 92

    If we compute both of their grades, they have the same exact Mean, and Median. The only difference
    that they have is in the mode. And judging from the results, Peter’s lowest mode is 92 while Maria’s
    lowest is 90. Therefore, we can conclude that Peter should be the Valedictorian
    TOPIC 1. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY

    APPLICATION
    Solve the given problem below. Show all pertinent solutions on the box provided.

    The rate per hour (in pesos) of the 10 employees of a certain company were taken
    and are shown below.
    44.17, 44.17, 38, 39.25, 18, 15, 57.17, 65.25, 44.17, 39.5

    1. Determine the value of the mean.

    Solution box

    44.17+ 44.17+38+39.25+18+15+ 57.17+65.25+ 44.17+39.5


    10

    40.468

    2. Determine the value of the median.

    Solution box
    39.5+44.17
    2

    41.835

    3. Determine the value of the mode.

    Solution box

    44.17, 44.17, 38, 39.25, 18, 15, 57.17, 65.25, 44.17, 39.5
    (No Solution Needed)

    44.17
    4. If the value 39.25 was erroneously written whose actual value is 49.25, then
    what measure of central tendency will be affected? Support your answer.

    Solution/Reasoning box
    If 39.25 was changed to 49.25, the mean and median will change.

    Getting the mean would be different as it uses all of the given numbers, thus
    changing 39.25 would lead to a different sum of all the givens, and giving a
    different mean, which is 41.468.
    Getting the median will also change because the 2 middle numbers before are
    39.5 and 44.17, changing 39.25 to 49.25 will shift the middle numbers, therefore
    changing the median, which will now be 44.17.
    Getting the mode will not change, as 44.17 will still be the most occurring
    number in the set.

    The ages of 210 qualified voters in a certain barangay were taken and are shown below.
    Compute the value of the mean, median, and mode. Show all your pertinent solutions on the
    box provided.
