Why is range not a measure of central tendency?
Measures of central tendency are averages. Range , the difference between the maximum and the minimum, is a measure of dispersion or variation.
What is the smallest measure of central tendency in a positively skewed distribution?
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.
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.
How would the outlier 57 affect the measures of central tendency?
The outlier 57 affects the measure of central tendency by increasing the numbers and making the problems difficult.
Is range a measure of central tendency?
no it is a measure of dispersion.
