This question is concerned with identifying the most typical or representative value in a dataset, and is often answered by calculating the mean, median, or mode of the data.
Ahshanul Haque
Mean: The mean is calculated by adding up all the values in a dataset and dividing the sum by the total number of values. It is a good measure of central tendency when the data is normally distributed and has no extreme values. Median: The median is the middle value in a dataset when the values are arranged in numerical order. It is a good measure of central tendency when the data has extreme values or is skewed. Mode: The mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a dataset. It is a good measure of central tendency when the data has a clear peak or is bimodal (has two modes).
The central tendency of data refers to the measure that represents the center of a distribution or the typical value around which the data tends to cluster. There are three common measures of central tendency:
Overall, the choice of which measure of central tendency to use depends on the nature of the data and the research question being addressed.
