Sum $3,000,000
▪ Mean: ($3,000,000/5)
= $600,000
▪ Median: middle value of ranked data = $300,000

Measures of Central Tendency: The Median
In an ordered array, the median is the “middle” number (50% above,wk.baidu.com50% below)
The location of the median when the values are in numerical order (smallest to largest):
Median position n 1 position in the ordered data 2
If the number of values is odd, the median is the middle number
▪ The shape is the pattern of the distribution of values from the lowest value to the highest value.

Measures of Central Tendency: The Mean
The arithmetic mean (often just called “mean”) is the most common measure of central tendency

Learning Objectives
In this chapter, you learn: To describe the properties of central tendency,
If the number of values is even, the median is the average of the two middle numbers

Summary Definitions
▪ The central tendency is the extent to which all the data values group around a typical or central value.
▪ The variation is the amount of dispersion, or scattering, of values
