Mode example (Grouped data)

 

Below given is the data representing the scores of the students in a particular exam. Let us try to find the mode for this:

Exam Score (xi)

 (fi)

41-50

2

51-60

9

61-70

7

71-80

15

81-90

6

90-100

3

 

Modal class = 71 - 80 (This is the class with the highest frequency).

The Lower limit of the modal class (l) = 71,

Frequency of the modal class (f1) = 15,

Frequency of the preceding modal class (f0) = 7,

Frequency of the next modal class (f2) = 6,

and Size of the class interval (h) = 10.

Thus, the mode can be found by substituting the above values in the mode formula,

Therefore, the mode for the above dataset is 75.71.

Median example (Ungrouped data)

  Find the median of the following data for marks in Statistics (out of 100). {99, 34, 45, 72, 98, 40, 62, 21} Step 1: Order the values from low to high 21, 34, 40, 45, 62, 72, 98, 99 Here, n (total number of observations) is 8, which is even, so we will use the formula given below: Thus, median marks in Statistics are 53.5.

Arithmetic Mean example (Ungrouped data)

Image
  Let's go through an example to illustrate the calculation of the arithmetic mean:   Suppose we have the following dataset of exam scores for a class of students:   {85, 90, 95, 78, 69, 55}   To find the arithmetic mean, we add up all the scores and then divide by the total number of scores: Therefore, the arithmetic mean of the exam scores is 79 (approx.). This means that, on average, the students scored 79 points on the exam.
