Why are mode median range and mean considered tendency?
Mode is the number that occurs most often in a set of data. It is considered an indication of central tendency, because in normally distributed data, the numbers that occur most often tend to be in the center of the data. Mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values. It is a measure of central tendency, because it is a way of calculating the average value. Median is the number that has equal number of values on each side of it when the values are ordered, or the mean of the two values that have equal values on either side if the number of values is even. It is also a way of saying what is the central tendency. Range is the largest value minus the smallest value. It is a measure of how closely grouped the data is.
What is the most commonly used measure of central tendency?
The mean.
Most useful central tendency for badly skewed distribution?
median
Which measure of central tendency does a circle graph most clearly display?
The mode.
The measure of central tendency that is most affected by a few large or small numbers is?
The mean is the measure of central tendency that is most affected by a few large or small numbers. The median is more robust for extreme values.
