Why is the median a more stable measure of central tendency than the mean?
AmyRWorley
in general,mean is more stable than median but in the case of extreme values it is better to consider median a stable measure than mean.

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.
Define the term marginal stability?
Marginal Stable is nothing but neutrally stable it means that the object will come back to original state even the external forces are acting on it but in different position.
What is a Un-normalize database?
An un-normalized database contains a random population of data that has not been organized into small stable data files
What are the characteristics of data in a data warehouse?
There are four key characteristics which separate the data warehouse from other major operational systems:Subject Orientation: Data organized by subjectIntegration: Consistency of defining parametersNon-volatility: Stable data storage mediumTime-variance: Timeliness of data and access terms
Would a small deviation in an experiment mean that something is wrong with the experiment?
Not necessarily. It might mean that the experiment has a highly stable outcome. You need to evaluate if that is true or if the experiment is flawed. It comes down to theoretical expectations versus experimental outcomes - you should know a priori (before the fact) what to expect, so you can know if the results are good. For instance... If you were measuring the radioactivity of a sample with a relatively low count rate using a detector that recorded counts in each second, you would expect a poissen distribution. If you were measuring the same sample with a detector that counted for 1 minute, you would expect a more gaussian distribution. If, on the other hand, you were measuring the wavelength of a red laser, you would expect that every single observation would give you the same results, within an extremely tight distribution.

What measure of central tendency is most stable from sample to sample?
Statistically speaking, the mean is the most stable from sample to sample. Whereas, the mode is the least stable statistically speaking from sample to sample.
Do protons in a very large nucleus have a greater chance of flying apart?
Sort of... The general tendency is for a larger atom to be less stable. Above a certain point (after lead) no stable atoms are known to exist.Sort of...

Why do elements for bonds?
Elements for bonds because they have a high tendency to be stable, this means that they have high tendency to attain the octet or doublet rule (only in the case of hydrogen).

Definition of equilibrium income?
This is established where aggregate quantity supplied is equal to aggregate quantity demanded. It is the central tendency of real income that equates the plans of consumers with those of producers. It is a stable level of income, so long as the various factors in the model DO NOT change.
