Which measure of central tendency best describes the data set wit an outlier?
The median.
Which is the best measure of central tendency and why?
you need to be more specific with your question!!
When is mode the best of measure of central tendency?
never * * * * * When the data are qualitative. The mean and median are unusable in such cases and the mode is the only sensible measure.
Under what conditions might you prefer to use the median rather than the mean as the best measure of central tendency?
the median is perferred when the data is strongly skewed or has outliers. =)
Why measures of dispersion are important along with measures of central tendency to understand the nature of the data?
Central tendency will only give you information on the location of the data. You also need dispersion to define the spread of the data. In addition, shape should also be part of the defining criteria of data. So, you need: location, spread & shape as best measures to define data.
