Why are there three measures of Central Tendency What if anything makes one better than the others?
Answer with an exampleIf you have a data series like: 1,2,2,3 What is the mean, median and mode of this thing:Mean= 2Median = 2Mode = 2Now if you have 1,2,2,3,1000Then we gotta have three measures asMode remains = 2Median shifts slightly toward threeMean becomes 201.6So you can see that three measures are required to capture the tendency of a data set in a more complete fashion.Although the mean does have this problem of being distorted by outliers (extreme values), it is the best measure of central tendency if more sophisticated analyses are required. This is because the properties of the mean, itself, are better understood. This means there is a wide range of powerful statistical techniques that can be applied to data using the mean.

Mean = Average of the numbers. Add all the numbers together and divide it by the total amount of numbers.Median = Middle number when you organize data in an ascending order.Mode = Most common numberRange = Maximum number - Minimum NumberSo:Mean(1+5+3+2+1+0+4+2+6+1)/10 = 25/10= 2.5Median0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6Middle number = 5th number in. There are 2 middle numbers, 2 and 2. So add both together and divide by two.= (2+2)/2=2Mode= 1 (there are three 1's, as opposed to two 2's and one of each other number)RangeYour highest number is 6 and your lowest is 0.6-0=6
