It yields to inconsistent results when used to average normalized set of values.
There is no meaningful average wen data are categorical (qualitative). Also, the arithmetic mean is not a good measure of central tendency when the data distribution is skewed.
It is the measure of central tendency.
The average or mean is one measure of central tendency. There are several.
The popular two ones are the mean and median. Often mode is included in the list even though it is not a measure of central tendency.
Median
An arithmetic mean is a measure of central tendency of a set of values computed by dividing the sum of the values by the number of values.
For which measure of central tendency will the sum of the deviations always be zero?
no it is a measure of dispersion.
There is no meaningful average wen data are categorical (qualitative). Also, the arithmetic mean is not a good measure of central tendency when the data distribution is skewed.
Measures of central tendency are averages. Range , the difference between the maximum and the minimum, is a measure of dispersion or variation.
Measure of averages.
Mode is the only measure of central tendency to measure quantitative dataor qualitative data.
It is one measure - not the only one - of a "central tendency". It is the same as the "average". To calculate the average, just add all the numbers, and divide the result by the amount of numbers.
