Formula and Notation
∑-denotes addition of a set of values X-the variable used to represent the
individual data values N-the number of values in a
population n-the number of values in a sample

We now find the median of the population of temperature readings
87, 85, 79, 75, 81, 88, 92, 86, 77, 72, 75, 77, 81, 80, 77, 73, 69, 71, 76, 79, 83, 81, 78, 75, 68, 67, 71, 73, 78, 75,84, 81, 79, 82, 87, 89, 85, 81, 79, 77, 81, 78, 74, 76, 82,85, 86, 81, 72, 69, 65, 71, 73, 78, 81, 77, 74, 77, 72, 68Arrange these 60 measurements in ascending order
65, 67, 68, 68, 69, 69, 71, 71, 71, 72, 72, 72, 73, 73, 73, 74, 74, 75, 75, 75, 75, 76, 76, 77, 77, 77, 77, 77, 77, 78, 78, 78, 78, 79, 79, 79, 79, 80, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 82, 82, 83, 84, 85, 85, 85, 86, 86, 87, 87, 88, 89, 92
Since N/2 = 30 and both the 30th and 31st values in the list are the same, we obtain median = 78
Median

One further parameter of a population that may give some indication of central tendency of the data is the mode
Define: mode = most frequently occurring value in the population
From the previous data we see:
65, 67, 68, 68, 69, 69, 71, 71, 71, 72, 72, 72, 73, 73, 73, 74, 74, 75, 75, 75, 75, 76, 76, 77, 77, 77, 77, 77, 77, 78, 78, 78, 78, 79, 79, 79, 79, 80, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 81, 82, 82, 83, 84, 85, 85, 85, 86, 86, 87, 87, 88, 89, 92
That the value 81 occurs 8 times mode = 81
Note! If two different values were to occur most frequently, the distribution would be bimodal. A distribution may be multi-modal.
