What is central tendency?
Though mean, median, and mode is central tendency, it is hard to put this into words.For an example:Your average grade in math class is an A. Though, how did you calculate that average? Well, since average means mean, you calculated that average using the method of central tendency, or in this situation, you found the mean.In other words, central tendency is just a method (mean, median and mode) to find the average, middle, and most occurring score or number in a set of data.I hope this helped! ;D~Lovingless
How do you find the measures of a central angle?
If three central angles measures 65, 87, and 112, find the measure of the fourth central angle.
Is range a measure of central location?
No, it isn't. Mean, median, and mode are the three most common measures of central location (although there are others). These measures of central location are attempts to find the middle value of a range.
What does median value mean?
The median value is the middle number in a sorted list of numbers. To find the median, you arrange the data in ascending order and identify the central value; if there is an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two central numbers. It is a measure of central tendency that is less affected by outliers compared to the mean, making it useful for understanding the typical value in a dataset.
What are the answers to finding the average mean median and mode?
To find the average (mean), sum all the numbers in a dataset and divide by the total count of values. The median is the middle number when the data is arranged in ascending order; if there’s an even number of values, it’s the average of the two middle numbers. The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the dataset. Each measure provides different insights into the data's central tendency.

What is the importance of Central Tendency?
Central tendency is important in statistics. It allows individuals to find a representative value, to condense data, and to make comparisons.
What is the most descriptive center of a data set?
There is no such thing. Different measures are best in different circumstances. If asked what the "central" colour of a car was, neither the mean nor median can even be calculated. You would not add a red car and a blue car to average at a purple car! On the other hand, you would have to be pretty lucky to find a mode for a continuous variable. Similarly, one can come up with scenarios where the median or the mean beat the other two measures of central tendency hands down.

It is a measure of central tendency that is less affected by outliers compared to the mean, making it useful for understanding the typical value in a dataset.
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.
How do you find the best measure of central tendency when using outliers?
A weighted mean is probably best. Certainly better than a median which throws away information from most of the observations.
How do you find the median if theres two in the middle?
You calculate the normal average between the two central numbers.You calculate the normal average between the two central numbers.You calculate the normal average between the two central numbers.You calculate the normal average between the two central numbers.

How does one find the best measure of central tendency?
you find which one is best for example, the mode could be the beat because it shows the most amount of data. just by looking at the mode you can figure out a lot about the survey and the data you have collected.
When to use harmonic mean?
The harmonic mean is best used in situations where the average of rates is desired, particularly when dealing with ratios or fractions. It is especially useful when the values being averaged are inversely related, such as speed (distance per time), or when calculating average rates across different entities. It is most appropriate when the data points are similar in nature and are meant to find a central tendency that reflects the influence of smaller values.
