Measures of Center In what sense are the mean, median, mode, and midrange measures of 鈥渃enter鈥?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  • Mean is the central measure based on all observations.
  • Median is the observation at the center as per the measurements.
  • Mode is the value with the most frequency.
  • Midrange is the central measure based on two extreme observations only.

Step by step solution

01

Mean

Mean is the measure for the central location of the data set. It is obtained using the measure of each observation along with the count of observations.

Thus, mean finds the center of all observations through the measures.

02

Median 

Median determines the observation that divides the entire data set into two halves. Thus, 50% of observations are, respectively, lesser or greater than the median value.

Thus, median finds the central observation of the data set by arranging the observations as per the measurement.

03

Mode

Mode forms the center of all observations as per the corresponding frequencies or number of repetitions in the entire dataset.

Thus, mode is/are the observation(s) with the highest frequency.

04

Midrange

Midrange is mathematically the average of two values; the highest and lowest measuring observations.

Thus, midrange provides a tentative measure of central observation based on two extreme values of the data.

Chebyshev鈥檚 Theorem Based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B, blood platelet counts of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 255.1 and a standard deviation of 65.4. (All units are 1000 cells>L.) Using Chebyshev鈥檚 theorem, what do we know about the percentage of women with platelet counts that are within 3 standard deviations of the mean? What are the minimum and maximum platelet counts that are within 3 standard deviations of the mean?

Weighted Mean A student of the author earned grades of 63, 91, 88, 84, and 79 on her five regular statistics tests. She earned grades of 86 on the final exam and 90 on her class projects. Her combined homework grade was 70. The five regular tests count for 60% of the final grade, the final exam counts for 10%, the project counts for 15%, and homework counts for 15%. What is her weighted mean grade? What letter grade did she earn (A, B, C, D, or F)? Assume that a

mean of 90 or above is an A, a mean of 80 to 89 is a B, and so on

In Exercises 5鈥20, find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. Include appropriate units (such as 鈥渕inutes鈥) in your results. (The same data were used in Section 3-1, where we found measures of center. Here we find measures of variation.) Then answer the given questions.
