The Best Measure of Central Tendency


The first thing you should know about getting the best measure tendency is getting the mean, median, mode and range is the priority. But to get that first you need to rearrange the data set.
The set you need to arrange is the shirts because it is the topic. This should be arrange in smallest to biggest, so for this one its 7,7,7,8,9,9,10,11,12,50.

Then after that you should find the main things, mean, median, mode, and range.

Mean is 13
Mode is 7
Median is 9
Range is 43

In this case the median is the best measure of central tendency because its closest to everyone except for the 50.

How many shirts should the man buy for the next 30 weeks?
If 9 is the best representative I should multiply 9 to 30 like this:
9x30=270 shirts should the man buy.

Choose the Best Measure of Central Tendency

Here is a chart show how many shirts a man sold in 10 weeks.
Now what I want you to do is find the Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

The first thing I'll do is rearrange the set of data.
7,7,7,8,9,9,10,11,12,50. Mean 13 Median 9 Mode 7 Range 43

The best measure of central tendency, in this case, is the median (9) since many numbers in the set of data are close to it.

How many shirts should the man buy for the next 30 weeks?
Since nine is the best representative, I will multiply 9 by 30.
9x30=270
The man should buy 270 shirts.

Here are some things I found to help you understand measures of central tendency more:

Range and Outliers

Range - Positive Difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set.

eg. 6,2,9,4,3 Re-order the data set.
2,3,4,6,9 Subtract smaller value from larger value.
9 - 2 = 7. 7 is your range.
eg. -8,-1,-3,-5 Re-order the data set.
-8,-5,-3,-1 Subtract smaller value from larger value.
(-8) - (-1) = 7

Outlier - A value that is much smaller or larger than the other data values, or the "outcast".
-A data set may have one or more outliers or no outliers at all.

Try to find the Range of the following.

a). 7,4,3,6,2,5,8,3 b).11,8,8,5,7,6,7,6,6 c). -4,3,-1,0,2

Try to find the Outlier of the following.

a). 18,19,79,17,20,12 b). 14,14,16,15,1,16 c). 98,202,99,91,2,95,89,88,94

Watch this video to learn more about Range and Outlier.

Thank you for reading my post.

Please leave a comment on anything I did wrong or think I should add next time.



Range -The positive difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set.

Eg. 6, 2, 9, 4, 3 - data set

2, 3, 4, 6, 9 - ordered from least to greatest

9 - 2 = 7

The range is 7

Example: -8, -1, -3, -5

-8, -5, -3, -1

(-1) - (8) = 7

The range is 7

outliers-A value that is much smaller or larger than the other data values
A data set may have one or more outliers or no outliers

* It's like,finding something that doesn't belong

Find the range of the following

a) 7, 4, 3, 6, 2, 5, 8, 3

2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

8 - 2 = 6

The range is 6


b) 11, 8, 8, 5, 7, 6, 7, 6, 6

5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 11

11 - 5 = 6

The range is 6


c) -4, 3, -1 , 0, 2

-4, -1, 0, 2, 3

3 - (-4) = 7

The range is 7


Find the outliers of the following

a) 18, 19, 79, 17, 20, 12 - 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 79 - The range is 79

b) 14, 14, 16, 15, 1, 16 - 1, 14, 14, 15, 16, 16 - The range is 1

c) 98, 202, 99, 91, 2, 95, 89, 88, 94 - 2, 88, 89, 91, 94, 95, 98, 99, 202- The range is 2 and 202

The Mean

What is a Mean?

Mean- is a measurement of central tendency.
- the sum ( answer of addition) of a set of values divided by the number of values in a set or to put in a simple way, add all the numbers given and divide in how many you've add.
- AKA. Getting the average

eg. 4,5,8,99

= 4+5+8+9+9
__________
5
= 35
___
5

= 7

Try This:


A) 7,8,6,9,9,5,7,7,8,4
B) 300,250,400,300,250
