1 8.1 Means, Medians, and Modes 8.1 OBJECTIVES 1. Calculate the mean 2. Interpret the mean 3. Find the median 4. Interpret the median 5. Find a mode A very useful concept is the average of a group of numbers. An average is a number that is typical of a larger group of numbers. In mathematics we have several different kinds of averages that we can use to represent a larger group of numbers. The first of these is the mean. Step by Step: Finding the Mean To find the mean for a group of numbers, follow these two steps: Step 1 Step 2 Add all of the numbers in the group. Divide that sum by the number of items in the group. Example 1 Finding the Mean Find the mean of the group of numbers 12, 19, 15, and 14. Step 1 Add all of the numbers Step 2 Divide that sum by the number of items There are four items in this group. The mean of this group of numbers is 15. CHECK YOURSELF 1 Find the mean of the group of numbers 17, 24, 19, and 20. Let s apply the mean to a word problem. Example 2 Finding the Mean The ticket prices (in dollars) for the nine concerts held at the Civic Arena this school year were 33, 31, 30, 59, 30, 35, 32, 36, 56 What was the mean price for these tickets? Step 1 Add all the numbers
2 616 CHAPTER 8 DATA ANALYSIS AND STATISTICS NOTE Divide by 9 because there are 9 ticket prices. Step 2 Divide by The mean ticket price was $38. CHECK YOURSELF 2 The costs (in dollars) of the six textbooks that Aaron needs for the fall quarter are 75, 69, 57, 87, 76, 80 Find the mean cost of these books. Although the mean is probably the most common way to find an average for a group of numbers, it is not always the most representative. Another kind of average is called the median. Step by Step: Finding the Median The median is the number for which there are as many instances that are above that number as there are instances below it. To find the median, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Rewrite the numbers in order from smallest to largest. Count from both ends to find the number in the middle. If there are two numbers in the middle, add them together and find their mean. Example 3 Finding the Median Find the median for the following groups of numbers. (a) 35, 18, 27, 38, 19, 63, 22 Step 1 Rewrite the numbers in order from smallest to largest. 18, 19, 22, 27, 35, 38, 63 Step 2 Count from both ends to find the number in the middle. Counting from both ends, we find that 27 is the median. There are three numbers above 27 and three numbers below it. (b) 29, 88, 74, 81, 62, 37 Step 1 Rewrite the numbers in order from smallest to largest. 29, 37, 62, 74, 81, 88 Step 2 Count from both ends to find the number in the middle. Counting from both ends, we find that there are two numbers in the middle, 62 and 74. We go on to step 3.
3 MEANS, MEDIANS, AND MODES SECTION Step 3 If there are two numbers in the middle, find their mean. (62 74) CHECK YOURSELF 3 Find the median for each group of numbers: (a) 8, 6, 19, 4, 21, 5, 27 (b) 43, 29, 13, 37, 29, 53 There are times in which the median is a better representative of a group of numbers than the mean is. Example 4 illustrates such a case. Example 4 Comparing the Mean and the Median The following numbers represent the hourly wage of seven employees of a local chip manufacturing plant. 12, 11, 14, 16, 32, 13, 14 (a) Find the mean hourly wage. Step 1 Add all of the numbers in the group Step 2 Divide that sum by the number of items in the group The mean wage is $16 an hour. (b) Find the median wage for the seven workers. Step 1 Rewrite the numbers in order from smallest to largest. 11, 12, 13, 14, 14, 16, 32 Step 2 Count from both ends to find the number in the middle. The middle number is 14. There are three numbers above it and three numbers below it. The median salary is $14 per hour. Which salary do you think is more typical of the workers? Why? CHECK YOURSELF 4 The following are Jessica s phone bills for each month of , 67, 31, 24, 15, 17, 41, 27, 17, 22, 26, 47 (a) Find the mean amount of her phone bills. (b) Find the median amount of her phone bills.
4 618 CHAPTER 8 DATA ANALYSIS AND STATISTICS Another measure used as an average is called the mode. Definitions: Mode NOTE A set with two different modes is called bimodal. The mode of a set of data is the item or number that appears most frequently. Example 5 Finding a Mode Find the mode for the set of numbers given. 22, 24, 24, 24, 24, 27, 28, 32, 32 The mode, 24, is the number that appears most frequently. CHECK YOURSELF 5 Find the mode for the set of numbers given. 7, 7, 7, 9, 11, 13, 13, 15, 15, 15, 15, 21 One advantage of the mode is that it can be used with data that are not a set of numbers. Example 6 Finding a Mode NOTE If each eye color appeared three times, there would be no mode! Not every data set has a mode. Following are the eye colors from a class of 12 students. Which color is the mode? blue, brown, hazel, blue, brown, brown, brown, brown, blue, brown, hazel, green Because brown occurs most frequently, it is the mode. CHECK YOURSELF 6 The following types of computers were available in the lab. Which type was the mode? Apple, IBM, Compaq, Dell, Apple, IBM, Apple, Compaq, Dell, Apple, IBM, Apple, Dell, Apple, Compaq CHECK YOURSELF ANSWERS $74 3. (a) 8; (b) (a) $30; (b) $ Apple

9 Using Your Calculator to Find an Average Most electronic calculators have statistical functions that allow you to calculate means, medians, and other statistical values. Because these features vary so much from one calculator to another, you will need to consult your owner s manual to learn how to access these features. In this section, we will focus on using a calculator to compute the mean. Example 1 Calculating a Mean Find the mean for the set of numbers below. 45, 48, 53, 59, 67, 76 When entering these numbers in your calculator, keep in mind the order of operations. There are two different techniques you may use. Method 1 Add the numbers then divide the sum by 6 (there are six numbers) Method 2 Use parentheses to find the mean. ( ) 6 58 CHECK YOURSELF 1 Find the mean for the set of numbers below. 132, 144, 156, 158, 279, 337 Unfortunately, not all calculations result in answers that are whole numbers. Example 2 Finding a Mean Find the mean of the set of numbers below. 13, 15, 16, 19, 26, 28, 38 Entering this as a single expression, we have ( ) 7 22 Your calculator probably has a display something like Remember that this is just another (although closer) approximation. 623
10 624 CHAPTER 8 DATA ANALYSIS AND STATISTICS We could approximate the answer as 22, as we ve indicated. We could also subtract 22 from the calculator display, leaving only the decimal approximation, approximately If we multiply this by the divisor, 7, we will get the remainder, which is 1. The exact answer is CHECK YOURSELF 2 Find an approximate and exact average for the set of numbers below. 17, 23, 33 CHECK YOURSELF ANSWERS Approximately 24, exactly
