SEMI DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN AVERAGE AND MEASURES OF VARIABILITY

I. At the end of the lesson 85% of the students should be able to

 Differentiate the mean, median, Mode, Range, Mean Deviation and Standard Deviation
 Calculate the averages and the measures of variability
 Appreciate the use of averages and measures of variability
 Integrate values to real life

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Averages: Mean, Median, Mode
Measures of Variability: Range, Mean Deviation and Standard Deviation
Values Integration: Cooperation and appreciation of the lesson

III. Materials
chalk, whiteboard marker, visual aid

IV. Procedure

A. Preparation
Prayer and checking of attendance

B. Motivation
Asked the students on how old are they and asked who has the same age in the
class and then relate the topic to the new lesson.

C. Lesson Proper

Activity:

The set of data shows the score of 15 girls in Section Yase

20 14 20
20 12 20
14 10 10
16 20 11
15 13 13
a. What score is typical to the group of students? Why?
b. What scores frequently appears?
c. What scores appears to be in the middle? How many students below this scores?
Discussion:

Mean, Median and Mode are three different ways of describing the averages.

 AVERAGES

MEAN – is commonly referred to as the average of all values. To compute for the mean, add all
the scores and divide the sum by the numbers of scores.

- It is the easiest “average” to compute.

Example:

Find the mean of this set of data 5, 6, 2, 4, 7, 8, 3, 5,6, 6

5+6+2+4+7+8+3+5+6+6 = 5.2

MEDIAN – Is also an average score.

- It is the middle score in the list after scores are arrange in decreasing or increasing
order.
- If there is an odd number of data values, the median is the middle value in the order
list. If there is an even number of data values, the median is the mean of the two
middle values in the ordered list.

Example:

- 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8
5+6= 11
11/2 = 5.5

MODE - The most frequent score/s in the given set of data.

- It is also an average score.

- A data set may have two modes and hence the data set is called bimodal.

Example:

- 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8
=6
  MEASURES OF VARIABILITY

RANGE - The range gives an idea of how the data are spread out and is the difference between
the smallest and largest values.

- Range = highest – lowest value

Example:

2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8
8-2= 6

MEAN DEVIATION - In a statistical distribution or a set of data, the average of the absolute
values of the differences between individual numbers and their mean.

Example:

STANDARD DEVIATION – in statistics, the standard deviation (SD, also represented by the lower
case Greek letter sigma σ or the Latin letter s) is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of
variation or of a set of data values.
