This would be the average. When the numbers are all over the place, it is difficult to use them to come to conclusions.
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
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.
If the distribution is positively skewed distribution, the mean will always be the highest estimate of central tendency and the mode will always be the lowest estimate of central tendency. This is true if we assume the distribution has a single mode.
Central tendency is used with bidmodal distribution. This measure if dispersion is similar to the median of a set of data.?æ
frequency distribution regression analysis measure of central tendency
The appropriate measure of central tendency for age is the median. This is because age is a continuous variable and can have outliers or extreme values, which can skew the mean. The median provides a more robust estimate of the center of the distribution.
The mean may be a good measure but not if the data distribution is very skewed.
Range is NOT a measure of central tendency. In a number of distribution - though by no means all - the mean, median and mode are near the middle of the distribution. That is more likely to be the case with a large number of observations (or experiments).
For which measure of central tendency will the sum of the deviations always be zero?
no it is a measure of dispersion.
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.
