Measures of central tendency

Inspirational 1865 views 40 replies

I was referring a chapter of STATISTICS pertaining to Standard XI. It is a scoring subject but very little persons know its practical use.

.

The book of my daughter remained open and she is now sleeping. 

.

As I have interests in so many subjects hence I have decided to write somewhat differently on the topic of Measures of Central Tendency. 

.

Generally it is believed that Mean,Median & Mode are easy to calculate. Hence nothing interesting is there except to score high marks in the subject. 

.

There are so many points to consider these Mean, Median and Mode in our practical life.

.

Please have a look and comment. 

.

1. Mean talks about average.

.

It is not pertaining to central tendency.

.

General people are covered under Mean.

.

It does not MEAN  that they are placed centrally. 

.

2. Median  talks about value located in the MIDDLE, i.e. perfectly positioned at CENTRE.

.

It is denoted by letter M. The letter M itself is perfectly placed centrally in the alphabets.

.

It is 13th letter out of  26.

.

3. Mode talks about REPEATED VALUE. It means it shows EXPERIENCE.

.

If a particular event happens regularly in a certain MODE (style), we say it is MODE.

.

Here we can't say it is AVERAGE or CENTRALLY PLACED.

.

IMPORTANT : 

 

Generally it is believed that MODE is so easy to calculate.

.

Since it is so easy hence it has no s(m)uch value.

.

That is why very few people give importance to the experience in their own practical life.

.

Whatever is clearly established; hardly few people follow.

.

It can be said that they come under MEAN category of not following the experience.

I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT GENERAL PEOPLE ARE NOT SO MEAN.

CENTRALLY PLACED OR HIGHLY PLACED  PEOPLE ARE MEAN.

MEAN WILL NOT  BE REPRESENTATIVE OF  THE POPULATION

UNTIL

EXTREMES LIKE-

RESERVATION-

GUNDAGIRI-

CORRUPTION  ETC.

AFFECT THE  VIEWS OF THE ENUMERATORS

 

Amazing Observations sir............

With due respect, I want to share :

.

Politicans come under MEAN category who appreciate Reservation, Gundagiri, Corruption etc. etc. although for us, it is not MEAN-INGFUL. For them; these are MEANS to harassh general people ( who come under Mean category).

very good analysis and observation 

Statistical Ananysis of Our Society under "Measures of Central Tendency".

This is also very scoring, not for the students, but for the teachers. We all common people(Or General People as Quoted by Paras Sir) are the Students. And Teachers???? We aal know it evry well....

Good thought...

never knew statistics had so much depth and relevance in real life..........it used to b a "STATIC" subject for me.......................thnx for sharing..hope i dont fall in the MEAN category............

Very good sharing sir ji....

It used to be  a  " STATIC"  subject for all.  

.

But how a  DYANAMIC thinker can turn  a "STATIC"  object  into  "STICKS" ? 

.

This Art-icle is an amazing illustration of the

Art of an inspiring leader

.

 It can provide    "(i) motion"  in the " static" subject  like  "STATISTICS". 

Realy true explanation Surendra sir.smile. Thanku for sharing.

TOTALLY A DIFFRENT WAY TO LOOK AT STATSTICS...!

GREAT GREAT ARTICLE SIR ..:D

wonderful explanation  sir ji........

Since the discussion has MOVED to a new direction which seems relevant to science stream hence a science student can explain more clearly about DYANAMICS AND STATICS. Now It is clear that CA Paras Bafna is a science graduate  only then he can write like this. 

A mistake is made in the calculation of MEDIAN of 26 it wont be 13th letter but it would be 13.5.

But our politicians fall in mean category for sure sir
