In this lesson, you are expected to:
1. Identify the mean, median and mode
2. Solve problems involving mean, median and mode
3. Boost their confidence by solving problems given through powerpoint presentation
II. Content

a) Activity
Teacher Activity Students Activity
Teacher: Good morning class we will be Student’s: ok sir!
having an activity for today to start with
our new lesson (the teacher will flash the
activity on the board).

The set of data shows the score of 35

students in their periodical test.
34 35 40 40 48 21 9
21 20 19 34 45 21 20
19 17 18 15 16 20 28
21 21 18 17 10 45 48
19 17 29 45 50 48 25

Teacher: Are you all done? Student’s: yes sir!

Teacher: Ok! Pass the paper to the
person in front of you, then exchange the
paper to the other row.

b. Analysis
Teacher Activity Students Activity
Teacher: 1. what score is typical to the Student’s: 21 sir
group of students?
Teacher: why? Student’s: because 21 is the common
score of their periodical test
 (Note to the teacher): Students may have
a hard time figuring out what “typical”
means. You may expound this further by
using the word representative or maybe
the number that can best describe the
performance of the students taking the
test.
2. What score frequently appears?
3. What score appears to be in the
middle?
4. how many students failed below this
score?

c. Abstract

Teacher Activity Students Activity

Teacher: An average is a number that typical for a set
of data. There is more than one type of average. The
type used most often is the mean value. Measures of
central tendency, or “location” attempt to quantify
what we mean when we think of as the ‘’typical’’ or
“average” score in a data set. Statistics geared toward
measuring central tendency all focus on this concept
of “typical” or “average”.

By for the simplest, but also the least widely used,

measure of central tendency is the mode. The mode
in a distribution of data simply the score more that
occurs most frequently.

Technically, the median of distribution is the value

that cuts the distribution exactly in half, such that an
equal number of scores are larger than that value as
there are smaller than that value.

The mean or “average”, is the most widely used

measure of central tendency. The mean is defined
technically as the sum of all the data scores divided in
the by n (the number of scores in the distribution).

The middlemost score is called the median. If there is

an odd number of data values, the median is the
 middle value ordered list. If there is an even numbers
of data values, the median is the mean of the two
middle value in the ordered list.

Example: the following sets of data show the weekly

income (in peso) of ten selected households living in
two different barangay in the town of Kananga.

Brgy. Kawayan:
150,1500,1700,1800,3000,2100,1700,1500,1750,1200

Brgy. Montalegre:
1000,1200,1200,1150,1800,1800,2000,1470,8000

a. Compute for the mean and the median for each

Barangay.
b. What information can we get from these value?
Using the mean value, it seems that Barangay
Montalegre’s household income in for greater than
that of Barangay Kawayan’s. However, using the
median, I seems that the two are almost the same.
c. Why do you think the median is more appropriate
than the mean?

d. Application

Teachers Activity Students Activity

Teacher: The mean is the score obtained if all
the score are “evened out”. For
Example:
5 boys have the following ages:
14,12,12,15 and 12.

IV. Assessment
Below are the mathematics grades of 30 Grade 7 students in the last quarter. Compute the
mean, median and mode
78 83 82 96 88 90 83 80
87 98 76 85 96 87 79 90
84 75 72 89 92 76 95
 96 95 85 91 89 91 84

V. Assignment
Solve the following problems:
1. The median for 10, 9, y, 12 and 6 is y. find possible values of y.
2. The mean of fifteen number is 30 and the mean of ten numbers is 25. What is the mean
of all the twenty-five number?
3. Given the set of number N = (7,9,10,14,8,16,13). When a number x is added to the set,
the new mean is 12. Calculate the value of x.
