Hello guys!! This is
my first topic for learn math. It just a simple formula and easy to understand
but we have to understand the meaning first.
What is Measures of
Central Tendency?
-
It is about the finding Triple M which is Mean, Median and
Mode.
Mean?
The mean (Average) is
sum of all the values in set of data then, divide into the total of values in
set of data.
Example 1: (Individual data)
The number of Distinction students
on a mathematics test for 6 topics were recorded as follows:
6, 4, 2, 5, 1, 0. Find the mean.
Example 2: (Grouped
data)
The number of cases
per year and the mean of days of in-patients at a RIPAS hospital are tabulated
below. What is the overall
mean number of days per patients?
