Question

3. Choose the correct answer.

A measure of tendency is the value or values around which the values in a statistical data set tend to cluster, or group; the mean, median, and mode of a statistical data set.
-negative
-central
-random
-positive

Answer 1

The answer is central because measures of central tendency, such as mean, median, and mode, are the values that summarize the center of a distribution of data. They provide a single value around which the data tend to cluster, making them useful for describing the overall characteristics of a dataset. The mean is the arithmetic average of a set of values, while the median is the middle value when the data are ordered, and the mode is the most frequently occurring value in the dataset. All of these measures provide a central or typical value for the data.

Answer 2

Measures of central tendency are summary statistics that represent the center point or typical value of a dataset. Examples of these measures include the mean, median, and mode. These statistics indicate where most values in a distribution fall and are also referred to as the central location of a distribution.
