Which measure of central tendency can be used for both numerical and categorical variables?
mean
What measure of central tendency applies to categorical variables?
mean
Which measure of central tendency is used when data is not numerical?
When the data are not numerical but can be ordered , the median may be used as a measure of central tendency. Put the data in order and choose the middle value. For example, low, medium,medium,low, high etc.
What are the four measures of central tendency?
The four measures of central tendency are mean-also called average, mode-the most frequently occurring numerical, median-the middle number after arranging all data from lowest to highest numerical and lastly standard deviation-root-mean-square or square-root of the variance. These are the 4 measure of central tendency.
Which is the most stable measure of central tendency?
Stability means that there will be less variation between random samples drawn on the same population. With categorical data, you may not have a choice, the mode is the only measure of central tendency that will be meaningful. With measureable, numerical data, the mean may be the only meaningful measure of central tendency, even though the median may show less variation. Some data may be assumed to have a skewed distribution, such as the price of homes, or incomes. The more stable and meaningful value for skewed distributions is the median, as a few high numbers can have a large impact on the estimate. See related links. You can find more information on central tendency by doing a search on the internet.
When is finding the average not useful?
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.
Which measure of central tendency will the sum of the deviations always be zero?
For which measure of central tendency will the sum of the deviations always be zero?
Is range a measure of central tendency?
no it is a measure of dispersion.
Why is range not a measure of central tendency?
Measures of central tendency are averages. Range , the difference between the maximum and the minimum, is a measure of dispersion or variation.
What is another word for Measure of central tendency?
Measure of averages.
Which measure of central tendency can be calculated for both quantitative data and for qualitative data?
Mode is the only measure of central tendency to measure quantitative dataor qualitative data.
