Mr. Jenkins recorded the amount of weight he lost in six months.

If Mr. Jenkins wanted to brag about losing the most weight, which measure of central tendency would he use?

Answer: Mr. Jenkins would use 'mean'.

Explanation:

Rather than use either median or mode, he would use mean. Mean is a statistical average of numbers. It would be best to brag about the total weight that he has lost rather than using the half-way point or the most frequent appearing number in the data.
