1 STATISTICS 1. Measures o Central Tendency Mode, median and mean For a sample o discrete data, the mode is the observation, x with the highest requency,. 1 N F For grouped data in a cumulative requency table, the median = L C m where L is the lower boundary o the median class N is total requency F is the cumulative requency beore the median class C is the interval o the median class m is the requency o the median class x x The mean is the average o all the observations. Hence, x. For grouped data, x. N (a) Find the mode, median and mean or, 3, 1,, 6, 8, 9, 3,, 3. (b) Find the mode, median and mean or the data in the table below. Score Frequency (c) [Mode =, Median = 3, Mean = 4] Find the modal class and calculate the median and mean or the data in the table below.

4 . Measures o Dispersion: Range, quartiles, interquartile range, variance and standard deviation. The range o a sample is the dierence between the observations with the highest value and the lowest value. 1 1 N F The irst quartile, Q 1 = L 4 Q C 1 Q1 and the third quartile, Q = N F 4 3 LQ 3 CQ Q1 3 Q3 Interquartile range = Q 3 Q 1. It should be recognised that the median is Q. The variance, x x x N N x or discrete data. x x x For grouped data, x. The standard deviation is actually variance x x x For discrete data, x.
