WHAT YOU SHOULD

LEARN
• How to find the mean, median, and mode of a population
and of a sample
• How to find a weighted mean of a data set and the mean of
a frequency distribution
• How to describe the shape of a distribution as symmetric,
uniform, or skewed, and how to compare the mean and
median for each

MEAN, MEDIAN, AND

MODE
• A measure of central tendency is a value that represents a
typical, or central, entry of a data set. The three most
commonly used measures of central tendency are the mean,
the median, and the mode.

WEIGHTED MEAN AND MEAN

OF GROUPED DATA
• Sometimes data sets contain entries that have a greater
effect on the mean than do other entries. To find the mean of
such a data set, you must find the weighted mean.

CRITICAL THINKING
• Although we can calculate measures of center for a set of
sample data, we should always think about whether the
results are reasonable.
• We should also think about the method used to collect the
sample data. If the method is not sound, the statistics we
obtain may be misleading.
