"Central tendency" is a phrase comprising TWO words, it is not a word. Central tendency refers to the tendency of some data sets to collect around their middle value.
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
The average or mean is one measure of central tendency. There are several.
Central tendency is important because it is used to calculate an average on a collection of data. Central Tendency includes the mean, median, and mode.
We use mean for measure the central tendency and mode for observed most common value of observation.

It is called central tendency because it represents the averages. Central tendency has three measurements: # Mean # Mode # Median

One of the measures of central tendency IS the average, also known as mean. You can't calculate the average from other measures of central tendency.
Average - the central tendency of a data set is a measure of the "middle" or "expected" value of the data set (mean, median, mode) Layman's terms - the average of a math problem is the middle number, usually found by taking the highest number and subtracting the lowest number, or taking the highest and lowest numbers and finding the middle number.

Median
The three commonly used measures of central tendency are the mean, the median, and the mode. They are different ways of describing a "typical" member of the population.
The mean and median are two measures of central tendency. In introductory statistics many schools include the mode as another example of central tendency but the mode could well be at the end of a distribution.
