What does central tendency mean in math terms?
Measures of central tendency are the mean, median, range, mode ect.
Is median used for when there is a wide range of numbers?
If the wide range is evenly spread between the very small and the very large (the distribution is symmetric) then there is not much to choose between the median and the mean. If not, the median will have some advantages as a measure of central tendency.
Can a data set have the same range and median?
Yes, but the two are measures of very different things. The median is a measure of central tendency whereas the range is a measure of spread. Nevertheless, the set 1, 2, 3, 4, 4 has a range of 3 and a median of 3.
What is the prime measure of central tendency is the?
Median
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

Which central tendency is used most often with range?
It could be the mean or the median.
What do you mean by measures of central tendency and dispersion?
Common measures of central tendency are the mean, median, mode. Common measures of dispersion are range, interquartile range, variance, standard deviation.
Why are mean median mode and range considered measures of central tendency?
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).
Why is it being called central tendency?
It is called central tendency because it represents the averages. Central tendency has three measurements: # Mean # Mode # Median

What are the importances of Central Tendency?
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.
Which measure summarizes all of the values of a data set with a single number?
The central tendency can be summarised by the mode, median or mean. For qualitative data, only the mode is available.The central tendency can be summarised by the mode, median or mean.

What are the criteria for choosing measure of central tendency and measure of variation?
Central tendency is measured by using the mean, median and mode of a set of numbers. Variation is measured by using the range, variance and standard deviation of a set of numbers.
