Statistically speaking, the mean is the most stable from sample to sample. Whereas, the mode is the least stable statistically speaking from sample to sample.

Why is the median a more stable measure of central tendency than the mean?

in general,mean is more stable than median but in the case of extreme values it is better to consider median a stable measure than mean.


How does central tendency compare in distributions based on individual scores and distributions based on sample means?

Central tendency in distributions of individual scores can be influenced by outliers and skewness, leading to potential misrepresentation of the data's central value. In contrast, distributions based on sample means tend to be more stable and normally distributed due to the Central Limit Theorem, which states that as sample size increases, the sample means will cluster around the population mean. Consequently, the mean of sample means will typically provide a more accurate estimate of the population mean than the mean of individual scores, especially in larger samples. Thus, sample means generally offer a more reliable indication of central tendency in aggregate data.


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.


Do protons in a very large nucleus have a greater chance of flying apart?

Sort of... The general tendency is for a larger atom to be less stable. Above a certain point (after lead) no stable atoms are known to exist.Sort of...

Which term is described as an organisms tendency to maintain a stable internal environment?

Homeostasis is the term used to describe an organism's tendency to maintain a stable internal environment by regulating its bodily functions.


Who measures the ratio of unstable to stable atoms in a rock sample to estimate the age of the fossil it contains?

A geologist or archaeologist would use radiometric dating techniques to measure the ratio of unstable to stable atoms in a rock sample to estimate the age of the fossil it contains. This process involves analyzing the decay of radioactive isotopes present in the rock to determine its age.

How does the Gibbs free energy relate to the stability of a system?

The Gibbs free energy is a measure of the energy available to do work in a system. When the Gibbs free energy is lower, the system is more stable because it has less tendency to change or react with its surroundings. In other words, a lower Gibbs free energy indicates a more stable system.


Definition of equilibrium income?

This is established where aggregate quantity supplied is equal to aggregate quantity demanded. It is the central tendency of real income that equates the plans of consumers with those of producers. It is a stable level of income, so long as the various factors in the model DO NOT change.
