What to Focus On

  • Central tendency gives us a single representative value for entire dataset
  • Three main measures: Mean, Median, and Mode
  • Each measure has different uses and advantages

  • Mean considers all values in the dataset
  • Affected by extreme values (outliers)
  • Most useful for symmetric distributions

  • Median is the middle value when data is arranged in order
  • Not affected by outliers or extreme values
  • Divides data into two equal parts

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mean of grouped data can be calculated by simply adding all class marks and dividing by number of classes

In step deviation method, the final answer is ui value, not the calculated mean

Median is always the middle number in the given data set

Memory Tips

Mean, Median, Mode - The Three Measures

Mean Formula for Raw Data

Median Position Formula

Mode is Maximum Frequency
