Question

Why are mean median and mode called measures of central tendency?

Answer 1

bcoz these things divides the data
median-tells the middle most data
mode-tells the highest value
mean-tells the avg. of the data

Answer 2

Mean, Median and Mode are called measures of central tendency because:

• The value that reflects the centre of data distributions from both extreme values is known as the central tendency.
• The central tendency denotes central data that can be used to represent all of the data values.
• The mean is a measure of central tendency because it gives one value that is the most central value by averaging all data.
• Because it gives a value that exactly happens in the middle or centre when all the values are recorded in series, the median is a measure of central tendency. Because the median value separates two sets of data, it is also known as the mid or central value.
• Because it produces one value that occurs frequently, the mode is called a measure of central tendency. It implies that the central representative value is the trending value.
• Hence, all are called measures of central tendency.
