Measures of Center in Statistics

The video tutorial explains the three measures of center: mean, median, and mode. Liam found the mean of a data set to be 45. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the mean by adding all numbers in the data set and dividing by the count of numbers. It also explains how to find the median by ordering numbers and identifying the middle value, and how to determine the mode as the most frequently occurring number. The tutorial confirms that Liam's measure of center, 45, is the mean.
