DETERMINING THE MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
Following are the scores of 34 students from Year 5 USM for the English Language Test.
These scores are called raw data because they have not been processed. By using these
measures, the performance of students can be measured easily and useful in score reporting.

Frequency Table

Frequency refers to the number of students who get a certain score. The frequency table for
the English Language scores is as in the following table:

Score Frequency

CALCULATING THE CLASS INTERVAL

In order to find the number of classes, the formula used is k = 1+3.3 log10 n where n equals to
the number of students in this score distribution. By doing this, the information contained in the
data can be presented clearly. For n=15, the appropriate number of classes is:

K = 1 + 3.3 log10 34

= 1 +3.3 (1.53)

= 6.05 ≈ 6

Next, I calculated my class interval using the formula;

Class Interval = range

= 90-27

34

= 1.85 ≈ 2

Through this, the class interval achieved is 2. This class interval allows us to easily analyse the data.
Moreover, it will be more detailed and easy to understand.
GROUPED DATA

The score for Year 5 USM English Language Test can be processed using the class interval. It is the
same as we collected the score according to grades which are A, B, C, D, and E. The advantage of
collecting the score is that the distribution of the score can be seen more clearly because the data
has been reduced into smaller picture. The size of the class interval is 2. The class interval size can be
calculated by subtracting the lower boundary from upper boundary

Class Interval Lower Boundary Upper Boundary Tally Frequency

21-30 20.5 30.5 I 1
31-40 30.5 40.5 I 1
41-50 40.5 50.5 IIII 5

MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCY

Central tendency measures the extent to which a set of scores gathers around. There are
three major measure of central tendency which are mode, median, and mean.

Mode of a set of data is the value that has the highest frequency. In this distribution, the
mode is 70

Score Frequency

70 6

Median is the value that lies in the middle of a set of data. Hence, the median is 60
90, 90, 90, 80, 73, 70, 70, 70, 70, 70 ,70, 67, 67, 67, 63, 63, 60, 60, 60, 60, 57, 57, 57, 57, 57, 53, 53, 50,
50, 50, 47, 47, 33, 27
The mean of a set of test scores is the arithmetic mean or average.
The formula is X = Σfϰ where
Σf

i. Σfϰ represents the summation or total of frequency and the class mark that is the
mid-point of the class

ii. Σf represents the summation or total of frequency

Class Interval Midpoint, x Frequency, f fx

21-30 25.5 1 25.5
31-40 35.5 1 35.5
41-50 45.5 5 500.5
51-60 55.5 11 610.5
61-70 65.5 11 720.5
71-80 75.5 2 151
81-90 85.5 3 256.5
Σf = 34 Σfϰ = 2300

The formula is is X = Σfϰ, then

Σf

X = 2300

= 67.65
STANDARD DEVIATION
Standard deviation refers to how much the scores deviates from the mean.
