 THE PROCESS IN EXCEL:

1. Encode the data in one or more column
2. Activate any vacant cell. Click fx, and select the category STATISTICAL then
click on AVERAGE
3. In the NUMBER 1 box, specify the input range of the data where you have
encoded the numbers (A1:A12). The mean will appear in the dialog box.

NOTE: You can also encode the following to any active vacant cell:

= AVERAGE (INPUT RANGE)

 1. Encode 3. Click fx
the data in
one or more
columns

5. Click
4. Select AVERAGE
category and click OK
2. Activate any
STATISTICA
vacant cell

following to any
cell
“=AVERAGE”
after encoding the
data
 2. Encode the
INPUT RANGE
by clicking the
mouse in the A1
and drag it up to
A12. Then,
ENTER
• MEDIAN
Example 1: When the number of observation is ODD, let say n = 9
 Find the median of : 13 43 23 20 51 64 49 80 55
 Arrange the data in ascending or descending order: 13 20 23
43 49 51 55 64 80
Example 2: When the number of observation is EVEN, let say n = 10
 Find the median of : 34 56 89 42 26 14 28 98 56 78
 Arrange the data in ascending or descending order: 14 26 28
34 42 56 56 78 89 98
 THE PROCESS IN EXCEL:

=MEDIAN(INPUT RANGE)
 1. Encode 3. Click fx
the data in
one or more
columns

5. Click
4. Select MEDIAN and
category click OK
2. Activate any
STATISTICA
vacant cell
L
6. Click OK
• MODE
Example 1: Find the mode of the following scores: 0 1 3 5 3 3 8 9 3 4
 Simply the answer is 3
Example 2: Find the mode of the following scores: 0 0 0 0 2 4 3 4 4 4 9 7 8 5
 Simply the answer are 0 and 4
 THE PROCESS IN EXCEL:
1. Encode the data in one or more columns
2. Activate any vacant cell. Click fx, and select the category STATISTICAL then click on
MODE
3. In the NUMBER 1 box, specify the input range of the data where you have encoded the
numbers (A1:A10). The median will appear in the dialog box.

NOTE: You can also encode the following to any active vacant cell:

=MODE(INPUT RANGE)
