Objective/s:
The learners analyze and interprets the data presented
in the table using measures of central tendency and variability
and tests of significant differences.

Specifically, the learners compute measures of central


tendency.

EXAMPLE:

Sir Glerry made a survey on the weekly allowance of his 8


students.

The results are:


200 300 420 250 350 500 650
400

Find the mean allowance of her 8 students.

Solution:
•  
= 383.75

Therefore, the mean allowance of her 8 students is ₱383.75.


2.Median (𝒙)̃
It is the middle entry of an ordered list of data (from lowest to
highest or from highest to lowest). To get the median, arrange
the scores in an ascending or descending order. If n is odd,
the median is the middle number. If n is even, the median is
the average of the two middle numbers.

EXAMPLE:
Teacher Romeo conducted a 20-item Business Math quiz to two
of his classes. The results of Section A with 10 students are 10,
15, 12, 11, 8, 10, 13, 18, 20, and 17. While the results of Section
B with 11 students are 10, 15, 12, 13, 13,18, 13, 16, 17, 11, and

On the other hand, Section B has n = 11 students. Thus, the
