It is a measure of the middle or central value of a variable of interest. There are different measures of central tendency and their purposes are not exactly the same. However, the basic principle is that the observed values of the variable are more likely to be near the central tendency value than far from them.
Some central tendency values cannot ever be observed. A normal number cube, for example, has a mean value of 3.5 but you cannot possibly throw a 3.5!
