We cover the topics in Statistics II, averages.<\/p>\n
While we commonly use the term “average” to mean the “arithmetic mean” in statistical sense, there are other kinds of averages in statistics.<\/p>\n
We call the data scores, and the frequency is a term used to indicate the number of times a particular score occurs. We can use a frequency table to represent data, and use a histogram to represent the table.<\/p>\n
Apart from the arithmetic mean or just mean, which is the sum of all scores divided by number of scores, we also have:<\/p>\n
* Mode. which is the score that occurs most often in a distribution;<\/p>\n
* Median, which is the middle score in the list (if the list has even number of scores, the median is the average of the middle two scores).<\/p>\n
