2. From the following data, Determine the mean, median, and mode

16 15 17 15 15
15 14 9 16 15
13 10 8 18 20
17 17 17 18 23
17 15 20 10 14
Sum of the values = 384

Manually Computed

Mean = ∑x / n = 384/25 = 15.36

Median = 25/2 = 12.5 median is =15
So, if we are going to arrange the data from lowest to highest.
8,9,10,10,13,14,14,15,15,15,15,15,15,16,16,17,17,17,17,17,18,18,20,20,23 =384 The
median will be in the 13th place which is 15
Mode = the most frequently occurring value is 15

3. The following data are shaped roughly like a normal distribution . determine the
mean, median, mode

61.4 27.3 26.4 37.4 30.4 47.5

63.9 46.8 67.9 19.1 81.6 47.9
73.4 54.6 65.1 53.3 71.6 58.6
57.3 87.8 71.1 74.1 48.9 60.2
54.8 60.5 32.5 61.7 55.1 48.2
56.8 60.1 52.9 60.5 55.6 38.1
76.8 46.8 19.9 27.3 77.4 58.1
32.1 54.9 32.7 40.1 52.7 32.5
35.3 39.1

Sum of the values

= 2596.1

Manually Computed

Mean = ∑x / n = 2596.1/50 = 51.922

Median = 50/2 = 25 median = 54.7

If we are going to arrange the data from lowest to highest

19.1 35.3 48.9 57.3 65.1

19.9 37.4 52.7 58.1 67.9
26.4 38.1 52.9 58.6 71.1
27.3 39.1 53.3 60.1 71.6
27.3 40.1 54.6 60.2 73.4
30.4 46.8 54.8 60.5 74.1
32.1 46.8 54.9 60.5 76.8
32.5 47.5 55.1 61.4 77.4
32.5 47.9 55.6 61.7 81.6
32.7 48.2 56.8 63.9 87.8.

The median will be the average of the 25th and 26th place which is 54.7

Mode = the most frequently occurring values are 27.3 and 60.5 and 32.5

We can say that this data is multimodal since both 27.3, 32.5 and 60.5 appears twice
in the data

Exercise 4.2

Measures of Central Tendency

(Grouped Data)
(Solve problems 2 and 3 for grouped data)
Instructions: Determine the mean, median, mode.
2. The following data represent the number of appointments made per 15-minute
interval by telephone solicitation for a lawn-care company. Assume these are
population data. Determine the mean, median and Mode.

Number of Frequency of
Appointments Occurrence
0-1 31
2-3 57
4-5 26
6-7 14
8-9 6
10 - 11 3

6-7 14 6.5 91 128
8-9 6 8.5 51 134
10 - 11 3 10.5 31.5 137
∑f=137 ∑fm=448.5

Mean = ∑fm / ∑f = 448.5 / 137 = 3.273723 or 3.27

Median = n/2 = 137/2 = 68.50

Md = [lbmc + ((∑f/2) – ˂cf)/fmc) i]

= [1.5+ ((68.5) – 31)/57) 2]

= [1.5+ (37.5)/57) 2]
= [1.5+ (37.5)/57) 2]
= 1.5+ 75/57)
= 1.5+ 1.32
Md= 2.82

Mode = 2.5 The mode is the midpoint of the modal class. The modal class is
the class interval with the greatest frequency.

3. Northwestern distribution company surveyed 53 of its midlevel managers. The

survey obtained the ages of these managers, which later were organized into the
frequency distribution ..
Class Interval Frequency
20 - 25 8
25 - 30 6
30 - 35 5
35 - 40 12
40 - 45 15
45 - 50 7

Manually Computed answer:

∑f=53 ∑fm=1954

Mean = ∑fm / ∑f = 1954 / 53 = 36.86792 or 36.87

Median = n/2 = 53/2 = 26.50

Md = [lbmc + ((∑f/2) – ˂cf)/fmc) i]

= [35.5+ ((26.5) – 19)/12) 5]

= [35.5+ (7.5)/12) 5]
= 35.5+ (37.5)/12)
= 35.5+ 3.13

Md = 38.63

Mode = 43 The mode is the midpoint of the modal class. The modal class is the
class interval with the greatest frequency.
