Measures of Central Tendency : Chapter 3

SUMMARY: Central tendency is a statistical measure that takes one number as the representative of a group. It is an economical estimate of the general characteristics of a group. There are three main measures: mean, median, & mode. Mean is the average of all the observations. The median is the middle of a distribution: half the observations are above the median and half are below the median. The median is less sensitive to extreme scores than the mean. This makes it a better measure than the mean for a data set with extreme values. The mode is the most frequently occurring observation in a distribution.
