WEIGHTED AVERAGE
Weighted Mean is an average computed by giving
different weights to some of the individual values. If
all the weights are equal, then the weighted mean is
the same as the arithmetic mean. It represents the
average of a given data.
Weighted Mean =

Suppose that a marketing firm conducts a TVs per Households
Household (x) (f)
survey of 1,000 households to determine the 1 73
average number of TVs each household owns.
2 378
The data show a large number of households
with two or three TVs and a smaller number 3 459
with one or four. Every household in the 4 90
sample has at least one TV and no household Ʃf=1000
has more than four. Find the mean number of
TVs per household.
Solution:
Number of TVs Number of fx
per Household (x) Households (f)
1 73 (1)(73) = 73
2 378 (2)(368) = 756
3 459 (3)(459) = 1377
4 90 (4)(90) = 360
Ʃf = 1000 Ʃfx = 2566

Weighted Mean = 2.566 ≈ 3
The mean number of TVs per household in
this sample is 2.566 ≈ 3.

 STANDARD DEVIATION

The Standard Deviation (s) is the measure of
dispersion/variability that involves
all scores in the distribution rather than through
extreme scores. It is also the
most widely used measure of dispersion/variability.

COEFFICIENT OF
VARIATION (CV)

 COEFFICIENT OF
VARIATION (CV)
The Coefficient of Variation (CV) is a measure of
relative variability. It is the ratio of the standard
deviation to the mean (average). The CV is
particularly useful when you want to compare
results from two different surveys or tests that have
different measures or values.
CV = X 100
 Example 1:
A researcher is comparing two multiple-choice
tests with different conditions. In the first test,
a typical multiple-choice test is administered.
In the second test, alternative choices (i.e.
incorrect answers) are randomly assigned to
test takers. The results from the two tests are:
