measures of central tendencys

Cards (17)

  • The measure of central tendency's are descriptive statistics.
  • The mean is calculated by adding all the numbers and dividing by the number of numbers.
  • The median is the middle value.
  • The mode is the most frequent number.
  • The range is the difference between the highest and lowest numbers.
  • The mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency.
  • Standard deviation is a measure of how consistent and far each data point deviates from the mean.
  • A larger standard deviation indicates greater dispersion.
  • A smaller standard deviation indicates smaller dispersion.
  • Measure of central tendency evaluations include the mean, medium, and mode.
  • The mean can be used with all types of data but is not very representative as it doesn't take in extreme values.
  • The median is less affected by extreme values and is not truly representative as it doesn't take in extreme values.
  • The mode can be used with all types of data and measures nominal and categorical data, but is not very representative as it doesn't take in extreme values.
  • Measures of dispersion include the range and standard deviation.
  • The range is simple to calculate and provides very limited information.
  • Standard deviation is a precise measurement of overall dispersion than range as all values are used.
  • Standard deviation may be misleading as extreme values are still used.
