    The measure of central tendency

    Is a single value that attempts to describe a set of data (like scores) by identifying the
    central position with that set of data scores. Measure of central Tendency are sometimes
    called measures of central location. Central tendency it refers to the center of a
    distributions of observation. The main, mode and median are valid measures of central
    tendency but under different conditions, one measures become appropriate than the
    others., for example if their scores are extremely high an extremely low, the median is
    better measures of central tendency since min is affected by extremely high and
    extremely low.

    Mean
    - The mean or average or arithmetic mean is the most popular and most well known
    measures of central tendency. The mean is equal to the sum of all the values of the
    data set divided by the number of values in the data set for example, 10 students in
    a Graduate School class got the following scores in a 100 item test, 70, 72, 75, 77,
    78, 80, 84, 87, 90, 92. The main scores of the group of 10 students is the sum of all
    their scores divided by 10.

    Median
    - The median is the middle score for a set of scores arranged from lowest to
    highest.. The mean is less affected by extremely low and extremely high scores.
    How do you find the median?
    - To determine the median, first we have to rearrange the scores into order of
    magnitude from smallest to largest.
    Mode
    - The mode is the most frequent score in our data set on a histogram or bar chart it
    represents the highest bar. If is the score of the number of times and on options
    Chosen in a multiple choice test you can, therefore, sometimes consider the mode
    as being the most popular option.
