Properties of a good measure of central tendency are:-

  1. It should be rigidly defined.
  2. It should include all observations.
  3. it should be simple to understand and easy to calculate.
  4. it should be capable of further mathematical treatment.
  5. It should be least affected by extreme observations.
  6. it should possess sampling stability.

The median.


Would the mode be the best measure of central tendency for heights in class?

The variable, height, is a continuous variable. The mode is not a good measure of central tendency for continuous variables because you would need a very large number of observations (pupils) before you are likely to get a useful number of repeat values. The modal class may be a good measure. Provided you do not have extremely short or extremely tall pupils, the mean would probably be the best.


When is finding the average not useful?

There is no meaningful average wen data are categorical (qualitative). Also, the arithmetic mean is not a good measure of central tendency when the data distribution is skewed.


Can you use the mean to answer a statistical question explain?

You can use the mean to answer some statistical questions: it is a measure of the central tendency of a set of data. However, it is no good in identifying the maximum value of a set of data, for example.

Is the mean not a good indicator of central tendency of skewed distribution?

Yes, the mean is not a good indicator of central tendency for skewed distributions because it can be heavily influenced by outliers and extreme values. In such cases, the mean may not accurately reflect the typical value of the data. Instead, the median is often preferred, as it better represents the center of a skewed distribution by being less affected by those extremes.


Why are three different measures needed in math measures of central tendency and dispersion?

There are more than three measures. Some are better than others in some situations but not as good in other situations.
