Dear Lord, As we begin this day, we ask for Your guidance and wisdom. Help us focus on our studies, to grasp new concepts, and to apply what we learn with clarity and understanding. Grant us the patience to work through challenges and the perseverance to keep striving, even when the path seems difficult. Remind us that every bit of effort we put in brings us closer to our goals. Fill our heart with peace, so that we may not overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. Help us to balance our studies with rest, and to remember that our worth is not solely defined by our academic achievements. Bless our teachers, who share their knowledge with us. May we all grow in wisdom, kindness, and respect for one another. MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY A single value that describes the center of a distribution - mean - median - mode ACTIVITY Answer Page 57-58 KEY TO CORRECTION Page 57-58 Mean Median Middle value of a distribution. The median is the midpoint of the data array. Before finding this value, the data must be arranged in order, from least to greatest or vice versa. The median will either be a specific value or will fall between two values. Median Example: Consider the following: 1. 106, 118, 125, 119, 142 106, 118, 119, 125, 142 Median 3. Seven = 119were selected and given a blood mothers pressure check. their blood pressure were recorded below. 135121 119 116 130 121 131 Find their median. Solution: arrange the data in order. 116, 119, 121, 121, 130, 131, 135 Mode Most frequent value in a dataset. Example: Consider the following: 1. 45, 22, 63, 78, 99, 22 = Mode 22 2. 67, 89, 34, 90, 23, 53, 22, = 34, Mode 34, 53 53 Mode = none 3. 68, 97, 61, 85, 38, 29, 11 In the Thus givensetdata, the data the modes: has two number34that and appeared 53. theset The data most number is said of bimodal. to be times is 22.
