We have different formula for mean median and mode.
Mean means average of all scores.
Okay for mean the formula is:
Mean = Σx/n
where
Σ means summation;
x is for the scores;
n is for the number of scores
example:
(It can be done with or without table)
Scores: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Let's get the mean.
x's = scores; n = 10
Mean = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 +10)/10
Mean = 55/10 = 5.5
This one for the ungrouped data.
We also have for the grouped data.
where:
Mean = Σfx/n
where fx is simply f * x where f is the frequency. You'll encounter this one in a table.
------
Median means measure of central tendency.
Formula is simply add all then divide by 2
example
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
55/2 = 27.5
There is also a formula for grouped data when a table is considered.
----
Mode is/are the number(s) repeated more than once. Among the three, mode is the easiest to identify without any computation in a ungrouped data.
Mode can be unimodal (only one mode), bimodal (means two modes), multimodal (more than 2 modes), no mode (means no mode at all)
In our example above, we have no mode because none of the numbers matches neither one of each.
It's hard to create tables here, so i can't show you how grouped data works
But i hope it helps.
