Is median better indicator of central tendency of skewed distribution?
Yes. Central tendency is the way data clusters around a value. Even if the distribution of the value is skewed, the median would be the best indicator of central tendency because of the way the data is clustered.
What measure of dispersion is used with bimodal distribution?
Central tendency is used with bidmodal distribution. This measure if dispersion is similar to the median of a set of data.?æ
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
Which measure of central tendency best describes the data set without an outlier?
The mean may be a good measure but not if the data distribution is very skewed.
Why is average called the measure of central tendency?
Because, whatever the underlying distribution, as more and more samples are taken from ANY population, the average of those samples will have a standard normal distribution whose mean will be their average. The normal (or Gaussian) distribution is symmetric and so its mean lies at the centre of the probability distribution.
