CENTRAL TENDENCY

The central tendency is one of the most quintessential concepts in statistics.

Although it does not provide information regarding the individual values in the data set, it delivers a comprehensive summary of the whole dataset.

The sum of all the numbers in the data set divided by the number of elements.

MEAN

(type in your answer - number only - up to 2 decimal points)

The element in the middle of the data set after it’s arranged in order.
