appropriate measure of central tendency.​

Answer 1

Answer:

I don't know so I am sorry

Answer 2

Answer:

1.answer....

Mean is an appropriate measure of central tendency when all the terms of the data are fairly close to each other.

Let's take an example, we have data of the form:

50, 51, 55, 57, 52.

Mean of this data is equal to 53 and it is fairly close to all the terms of the data.

2nd answer.....

Mean is not an appropriate measure of central tendency when all the terms of the data are not fairly close to each other.

Let's take an example, we have data of the form:

50, 51, 55, 54, 200.

Mean of this data is equal to 82 which is not close to any of the terms present in the data.

3rd anwer....

In such a case, median is a better method. Arranging data in the ascending order we get,

50, 51, 54, 55, 200

Clearly, median of this data is equal to 54 which is close to most of the terms present in the data.
