Central_Tendency

: back to [[Summary Statistics]] -- [[Statistical Theory]]

'''Central tendency''' is the term statisticians use for any [[Statistic]] that you could quote as ''representative'' of an entire [[Data Set]].

The most commonly used measures of central tendency are the 
#[[Arithmetic Mean]], the sum of all data divided by the number of Observations in the [[Data Set]]].
#MediaN, the value that separates the highest half from the lowest half of the [[Data Set]].
#MoDe, the most common value in the [[Data Set]].
