Data Steps

Mode, Median and Mean of Discrete Data

1)Size of waist (inch)
a)Mean

Figure 1

i)Put all the data from the survey in table. Find the
middle point of the size of waist.Type =AVERAGE and
clicked on it.
Figure 2

ii)Highlight all the middle point size of waist from C3

until C59 as shown in Figure 2.Press “Enter” and MEAN
will obtained are 30.77192982
 b)MEDIAN

Figure 3

i)Type “=MEDIAN(C3:C59)” in any column

ii)Press “ENTER”

iii)MEDIAN that was obtained are 32 as shown in Figure

3
 c)MODE

Figure 4

i)Type ”=MODE(C3:C59)” in any column

ii)Press “ENTER”

iii)MODE that was obtained are 32 as shown in Figure 4

Steps taken by formula

Mean: 𝑥̅ =
𝑛

∑ represents the summation

X represents scores
N represents number of scores

Median: 𝑚 = 𝐿 + ( )𝐶
𝑓

L is the lower class boundary of the group containing

the median
n is the total number of value
F is the cumulative frequency of the group before the
median group
f is the frequency of the median group
C is the group width

𝑚 = 29.5 + ( 2 ) 5 = 30.4783

So the median is in the range of 30-34 which has the
mid point of 32
Mode:
Mode is the most frequently scores or value, so for this
data the mode is 32.
