Mean
MEAN (AVERAGE): Mean [Ungrouped Data] – Mean of n observations, x1, x2, x3 … xn, is
MEAN [Grouped Data]: The mean for grouped data can be found by the following three methods:
(i) Direct Mean Method:
Class Mark = UpperClassLimit+LowerClassLimit upon 2
(ii) Assumed Mean Method: In this, an arbitrary mean ‘a’ is chosen which is called, ‘assumed mean’, somewhere in the middle of all the values of x.
…[where di = (xi – a)]
(iii) Step Deviation Method:
…..
Median
Median is a measure of central tendency which gives the value of the middle-most observation in the data.
…where[l = Lower limit of median class; n = Number of observations; f = Frequency of median class; c.f. = Cumulative frequency of preceding class; h = Class size]
Mode
(i) Ungrouped Data: The value of the observation having maximum frequency is the mode.
(ii) Grouped Data:
…where[l = Lower limit of modal class; f1 = Frequency of modal class; f0 = Frequency of the class preceding the modal class; f2 = Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class; h = Size of class interval.
c.f.
= Cumulative frequency of preceding class; h = Class size]
Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
Median = Mode+2Mean upon 3
Mean = 3Median−Mode upon 2

The relationship between mean, median and mode for a moderately skewed distribution is
Mode and mean of a data are 12k and 15A. Median of the data is
⇒ 12k = 3 median – 2 × 15k
⇒ 42k = 3 median
⇒ Median = 14k
