Measures of Central Tendency 1. Describing Data: Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion I n the previous chapter we discussed measurement and the various levels at which we can use measurement to describe the extent to which an individual observation possesses a particular theoretical construct. It is obtained by dividing the sum of all observation in a series by the total number of observation. Simple to calculate.

Values to be arranged are given varying importance. Average: It is a value which is typical or representative of a set of data. • When a distribution contains a few extreme scores (or is very skewed), the mean will be pulled toward the extremes (displaced toward the tail). 0000002887 00000 n
