Introductory Statistics
Lesson 2.3 A
Objective: SSBAT find the mean, median, and mode of data.
Standards: M11.E.2.1.1
![Page 2: Introductory Statistics Lesson 2.3 A](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061608/56815ab4550346895dc867bf/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Measure of Central Tendency
A value (number) that represents a typical or central entry of a data set
3 commonly used measures are MEAN, MEDIAN, and MODE
![Page 3: Introductory Statistics Lesson 2.3 A](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061608/56815ab4550346895dc867bf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Example: The ages of employees in a department are listed. What is the mean age?
34, 27, 50, 45, 41, 37, 24, 57, 40, 38, 62, 44, 39, 40
The mean age of the employees is 41.3 years.
Mean
Add all of the numbers together and Divide by the number of values in the set

Population Mean
represents the population mean
N represents the number of entries in a Population

Sample Mean
represents the sample mean
n represents the number of entries in a Sample

Example: The prices (in dollars) for a sample of roundtrip flights from Chicago, Illinois to Cancun, Mexico are listed. What is the mean price of the flights?
872, 432, 397, 427, 388, 782, 397
= 872 + 432 + 397 + 427 + 388 + 782 + 397
= 3695
=
527.90
The mean price of the flights is about $527.90.

Median
The number that is in the middle of the data when it is ordered from least to greatest
1. Write the numbers in order from least to greatest2. Find the middle number
If there are 2 middle numbers, Add them and divide by 2
![Page 8: Introductory Statistics Lesson 2.3 A](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061608/56815ab4550346895dc867bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Example: Find the Median of the flight prices from 1.
872, 432, 397, 427, 388, 782, 397
388, 397, 397, 427, 432, 782, 872
The Median flight price is $427.

Example: The ages of a sample of fans at a rock concert are listed. Find the median age.
26, 27, 19, 21, 23, 30, 36, 21, 27, 19,

Mode
The number that occurs the most in the data set
If no entry is repeated, there is No Mode
There may be more than 1 mode
Bimodal A data set that has 2 modes
![Page 11: Introductory Statistics Lesson 2.3 A](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061608/56815ab4550346895dc867bf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Example: Find the mode of the flight prices from #1.
872, 432, 397, 427, 388, 782, 397
The mode price is $397.
Example: Find the mode of the employee ages.
24, 27, 27, 34, 37, 38, 39, 40, 40, 44, 49, 57
The mode age is 27 and 40

Example: A sample of people were asked which political party they belonged to. The results are in the table below.
What is the Mode of their response?
Political Party Frequency, fDemocrat 34
Republican 56
Other 21
Did not respond 9
The response with the greatest frequency is Republican therefore the MODE is Republican

Find the Mean, Median and Mode of the data set.
20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 21, 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 23, 25, 25, 78
Mean, : 25.3
Median: 21.5
Mode: 20
Which measure of central tendency best describes this data set?
Median
![Page 16: Introductory Statistics Lesson 2.3 A](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061608/56815ab4550346895dc867bf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Outlier
A data entry that is a lot bigger or smaller than the other entries in the set
Outliers cause Gaps in the data
Conclusions made from data with outliers can be flawed
![Page 17: Introductory Statistics Lesson 2.3 A](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061608/56815ab4550346895dc867bf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MEAN
- There is only one mean for each data set- It is the most commonly- It takes into consideration all data entries- It is affected by Extreme Values – Outliers
MEDIAN
- There is only one median for each data set- Extreme values (outliers) do NOT affect the median
MODE
- Use when you are looking for the most popular item- Use when you have non-numerical data- When no value repeats there is no mode
