Teacher Lorena gave a 10-item test in her Mathematics class. These are the following scores obtained by the learners: 8, 6, 7, 10, 5
1.How many learners took Teacher Lorena's mathematics test?
2.What is the sum of the learners’ mathematics scores?
3. What is the result of dividing the total score of all students by
the number of learners who took the mathematics test?
Stephanie wants to know her average grade in Math 7.
She has the following grades for each grading period
1st grading – 92
2nd grading – 93
3rd grading – 92
4th grading – 95
Let's help Stephanie calculate her average grade! Let’s get
started!
Before calculating Stephanie’s average, let us first define the following terms:
Mean ( 𝑋̅) defines:
The sum of all numbers divided by how many numbers are in a set of data.
The most popular among the measures of central tendency.
It indicates a point around with the value in the distribution balance it is also affected
by extreme values.
Data refers to collecting information gathered through observations, measurements,
research, or analysis. It may include facts, numbers, names, figures, or descriptions of
things.
An ungrouped set of data is a list of numbers.
1st grading – 92
2nd grading – 93
3rd grading – 92
4th grading – 95
Questions:
1. What is the sum of Stephanie's grade?
2. How will you calculate the mean or average of her grade?
3. Determine the average grade of Stephanie.
4. Do you think she is doing well in her studies? Why?
How to solve Mean of Ungrouped Data
Formula:
where:
𝑥̅ is the mean
𝑥𝑖 are the values
∑ 𝑥𝑖 is the sum of the values N is the total number of values from the given data
