Identify measure of central tendency (3)

  • Most appropriate central tendency to summarise the grades of students
    A suitable measure of tendency to summarise the predicted grades is the mode. This is because the grades are categorical (A, B, C, etc) and not numerical, so calculating a mean or median is not appropriate. The mode identifies the most frequently occurring grade among the students, giving a clear indication of the most common predicted performance level. Therefore, the mode is the best summary measure for these categorical grade data.
