1.1 Find the mean, median and mode of the set data.

Mean 36.6
Median 36.82
Mode 37

Solution:
Less than cumulative Class
Score f x (fx) frequency boundaries
55-58 2 56.5 113 65 54.5 - 58.5
51-54 4 52.5 210 63 50.5 - 54.5
47-50 5 48.5 242.5 59 46.5 - 50.5
43-46 6 44.5 267 54 42.5 - 46.5
39-42 10 40.5 405 48 38.5 - 42.5
35-38 13 36.5 474.5 38 34.5 - 38.5
31-34 8 32.5 260 25 30.5 - 34.5
27-30 6 28.5 171 17 26.5 - 30.5
23-26 6 24.5 147 11 22.5 - 26.5
19-22 2 20.5 41 5 18.5 - 22.5
15-18 2 16.5 33 3 14.5 - 18.5
11-14 1 12.5 12.5 1 10.5 - 14.5
n= 65 2376.5

Mean = 2376.5/65
=36.56

Locator 32.5
Median = 34.5+(65/2-25)/13*(4)
= 34.5 + (32.5-25)/13*(4)
= 34.5+(7.5/13)*(4)
= 34.5+2.31
=36.81

Modal
Class 13
 Mode = 34.5+((13-8)/(2*(13)-8-10))*(4)
= 34.5+(5/(26-18))*(4)
= 34.5+(5/(26-8-10))*(4)
= 34.5+(5/8)*(4)
34.5+2.
= 5
=37

1.2 How would you compare the mean, median and mode of the set of the data?

The mean 36.6 serves as the average scores of the 65 students on the Mathematics
test. Meanwhile, median 36.82 is the middle score when ranked from lowest to highest.
Last, is the mode 37 as the most often occurring score of the students on the
Mathematics test.
1.3 Which measure best represents the average of the set of data?
The mean 36.6 best represents the average of the set data. Since its formula is by
adding all the frequency and then dividing it to the class mark.
2. Is the median the most appropriate measure averages (central tendency) for
grouped data? Why? How about the mean? Mode? Explain your answer.
In a skewed distribution, median is often the preferred as the most appropriate
measure of averages (central tendency). It is because the mean is not the middle of
the distribution. While Mode is mostly used when dealing with nominal data.
3. Is it always necessary to group a set of data when finding its mean, median, or
mode?
It is important that the sets of data are in groups in order to get the exact and
accurate representation of the collected data. Interpretation and calculation will also be
easier even the right use of formulas and steps will be followed when it is organized.
Potential errors that waste time, effort, and other costs associated with execution errors
can be avoided.
4. Why do we need to compute the measure of dispersion (variance and standard
deviation) even if we have computed the measure of central tendency?
We also compute the measure of dispersion and the central tendency so that we can
also see and know the difference starting from the middle or center of the data and its
extent from each other. Ensure the understanding of its results and the reliability of the
conclusions drawn from the data collected. It will be more useful and will provide
researchers with more information to make their descriptions clearer.
