Positional Averages
Positional average determines the position or place of central values or variables in the series. There are two important types of positional averages:
Median Mode

Median
According to Prof. L.R.Conner“The median is that value of
variable which divides the group into two equal parts, one part comprising all values greater and the other all values less than median.”

Calculation Of Median
Individual Series1. Arrange the terms in ascending order.2. Count the no. of terms (N)
When no. of terms is odd:
3. Calculate (N+1)/2 th term. This term is the median.
When no. of terms is even:3. Calculate N/2 and N/2 +1.4. Mean of these two terms is the median.

Discrete Series
1. Arrange the data in ascending order.2. Find cumulative frequencies.3. Find the value of middle item by using
the formula, Median = Size of (N+1)/2 th item.
4. Find that total in the cumulative frequency column which is equal to(N+1)/2 th or nearer to that value.
5. Locate the value of the variable corresponding to that cumulative
frequency. This is the value of median.

Depending Measures on median
Quartiles: Quartiles divide the series in four equal parts. For any series there are three quartiles.First Quartile:
For Individual and Discreet series:Q1 = Size of (N+1)/4 th term
For Continuous series:Q1 = L + (N1 – Cf) i /f ; where N1 = N/4
Second Quartile:Q2 = Median = P50 = D5
Third Quartile:For Individual and Discreet series:
Q1 = Size of 3(N+1)/4 th termFor Continuous series:
Q3 = L + (N1 – Cf) i /f ; where N1 = 3N/4

Deciles:Decile divides the series into ten equal parts. There are 9 deciles for any series, from D1 to D9.
For Individual and Discreet series:Dn = Size of n(N+1)/10 th term
For Continuous series:Dn = L + (N1 – Cf) i/ f ; where N1 = nN/10
Percentiles:Percentiles divide the series in 100 equal parts. For any series there are 99 percentiles.
For Individual and Discreet series:Pn = Size of n(N+1)/100 th term
For Continuous series:Pn = L + (N1 – Cf) i/f ; where N1 =
nN/100

•Continuous Series M = L + N1 – Cf x i
fWhere, M= Median
N1 = N/2
L = Lower limit of class interval in which frequency lies.
Cf = Cumulative frequency f = Frequency of that interval i = Length of that class interval

Uses Of Median It can be easily calculated and is easy to
understand. Unlike mean, median is not affected by
the extreme values. For open end intervals, it is also a suitable
one. As taking any value of the intervals, value of median remains the same.
Median can also be used for other statistical devices such as Mean Deviation and Skewness.
![Page 13: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
It can be located graphically. Some items may not be available to
get median. Even if the number of terms is known, We can get the median.
![Page 14: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Limitations Of Median Even if the value of extreme items is too large,
it does not affect too much, but due to this, sometimes median does not remain the representative of the series.
It’s affected much more by fluctuations of sampling than A.M.
If the no. of terms in series is even, we can only make an estimate, as the A.M. of two middle terms is taken as Median.
![Page 15: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mode
According to Zizek“The mode is the value occurring most
frequently in a series of items and around which the other items are distributed most densely.”
![Page 16: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Calculation Of Mode: Individual series:
1. Arrange the terms in ascending or descending order.2. Note the term occurring maximum times.3. This term is Mode.
![Page 17: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Discrete series: Here the variable with the highest
frequency is the Mode. This method is known as inspection method and has its own limitations.
Eg:
X: 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45
f: 1 3 4 9 11 12 3 2 2
![Page 18: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Grouping Table Frequencies are taken. Frequencies are added in twos. Leaving first item frequencies are added
in twos. Frequencies are added in threes. Leaving first frequency, frequencies are
added in threes. Leaving first two frequencies, frequencies
are added in threes.
![Page 19: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Analysis Table
Note highest total in each column. Note the variable in each column
corresponding to that total. Check if that total is of individual term or
more ( 2 or 3) terms. If the total consists of 2 or more
frequencies, all such variables have to be marked as √.
Count √ marks in each column. Variable with max. marks denotes mode.
![Page 20: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Continuous Series :Z = L + f1 – f0 x i
2f1 – f0 – f2
Where, L = Lower limit of Modal interval f = Frequency corresponding to
modal interval f = Frequency preceding interval f = Frequency succeeding interval i = Length of interval
![Page 21: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Calculate mode for the following data:
X: 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70
f: 4 13 21 44 33 22 7
![Page 22: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Uses Of Mode Mode is the term that occurs most in
the series hence it is not an isolated value like mean that may not be there in the series.
It is not affected by extreme values hence is a good representative of series.
It can be found graphically too. With only a single glance at data we
can find its value. It is simplest.
![Page 23: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Limitations Of Mode Mode can not be determined if the series
is bimodal or multimodal. Mode is most affected by fluctuation in
sampling. It is not capable of further algebraic
treatment. It is impossible to find the combined mode of some series as in case of mean.
If the no. of terms is too large only then we can consider it as the representative value.
![Page 24: Centeral Tendency Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/54685633b4af9fdf3f8b57f6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Relation Between X, M and Z:
Z = 3 M – 2 X Symmetrical: In case of symmetrical
series, the mean, median and mode coincide. i.e. Z = M = X.
Positive skewed: If the tail is towards right. i.e. Z > M > X.
Negative Skewed: If the tail is towards left. i.e. Z < M < X
