Answer:
A measure of central tendency is a single value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the central position within that set of data. As such, measures of central tendency are sometimes called measures of central location. They are also classed as summary statistics. The mean (often called the average) is most likely the measure of central tendency that you are most familiar with, but there are others, such as the median and the mode.

Answer:
- Measures of central tendency is a technique of statistical analysis by which we get such a value of data which represents whole data.
- Such a value is called average or central value.
- Thus, a central tendency is a single figure that represents the whole mass of data.
The three most commonly used average are arithmetic mean, median and mode.
Arithmetic Mean
- Most commonly used measures of central tendency.
- It is the sum of the values of all observations divided by the number of observations.
Median
- Median is a positional value of the variable which divides the distribution into two equal parts, one part comprises all values greater than or equal to the median value and the other comprises all the values less than or equal to the median value.
- Median is the middle element when the data set is arranged in order of the magnitude.
Mode
Mode is a value which occurs maximum number of times.
