Introduction

Measures of central tendency—mean, median, and mode—are single values that represent an entire dataset. They help to summarise big sets of numbers and identify a "typical" value.

Types of Average Individual Data Discrete Data Continuous Data
Arithmetic Mean \[\overline{x}=\frac{\Sigma x}{n}\] \[\overline{x}=\frac{\Sigma f_ix_i}{n}\] \[\text{Direct method}\overline{X}=\frac{\Sigma f_{i}x_{i}}{n}\]
Mode Value repeated maximum number of times The value which has maximum frequency \[\mathrm{Mode}=l+\left[\frac{f_1-f_0}{2f_1-f_0-f_2}\right]\times h\]
Median \[\mathbf{M}=\mathrm{size~of}\left({\frac{n+1}{2}}\right)^{\text{th observation}}\] \[\mathbf{M}=\mathrm{size~of}\left({\frac{n+1}{2}}\right)^{\text{th observation}}\] \[\mathbf{M}=l+\left(\frac{\frac{n}{2}-cf}{f}\right)\times\mathbf{h}\]
