12.2 – Statistical Analysis
Measures of Central Tendency
Measures of Central Tendency
• Mean – the sum of the data divided by the number of items in the data set.
Measures of Central Tendency
• Mean – the sum of the data divided by the number of items in the data set.
• Median – the middle number of the ordered data or the mean of the middle two numbers.
Measures of Central Tendency
• Mean – the sum of the data divided by the number of items in the data set.
• Median – the middle number of the ordered data or the mean of the middle two numbers.
• Mode – the number or numbers that occur most often.
Ex. 1 The table shows the number of Calories per serving of each vegetable.
Which measure of central tendency best represents the data, if any?

Which measure of central tendency best represents the data, if any?
9,9,10,14,17,17,17,20,25,28,30,66Since 66 is much larger than the other numbers it would skew the results of the mean.
