Central Tendency

Central tendency refers to the typical or average value in a set of data, giving a single point that summarizes the data. It helps to understand the general pattern or most common outcome. The main measures are the mean (average), median (middle value when data is ordered), and mode (most frequently occurring value). These measures provide a simple way to grasp the overall trend of data, making it easier to compare different data sets or identify what’s typical within a group. Central tendency is widely used in various fields to analyze and interpret information efficiently.
