Lesson 4 Summary

 

In this lesson you investigated the following question:

  • Which measure of central tendency is the best for a given set of data?

Different sets of data can be interpreted using arithmetic mean, median, mode, weighted mean, and trimmed mean.

 

Which one do you use to best represent the data? Review “Average or Central Tendency: Arithmetic Mean, Median, and Mode.”

 

 

This is a Kahn video that reviews the measures of central tendency.

Based on your knowledge of these terms and carefully considering the data, your choices of how to interpret will result in a measure of central tendency that will best represent the data.
