Overview
Statistics is the branch of mathematics that deals with collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data. In this chapter, we explore measures of central tendency, specifically focusing on mean and median. We learn how these measures help us understand data patterns and make informed conclus
Key Concepts
Mean is calculated by adding all
Mean is calculated by adding all values and dividing by the number of values. However, extreme values (very high or very low) can significantly affect
Median is the middle value when
Median is the middle value when data is arranged in ascending order. For odd number of values, it's the middle value. For even number of values, it's
When data is presented in frequency
When data is presented in frequency tables, median is found by: 1) Creating cumulative frequency table, 2) Finding the position of median (n+1)/2 for
For grouped data
For grouped data: 1) Create cumulative frequency table, 2) Find median class containing the n/2th observation, 3) Assume uniform distribution within t
In histograms
In histograms, a vertical line through the median divides the graph into two parts of equal area. This means the probability of selecting a value belo
