Numerical values referring to the center of the distribution. (Mean, Mode, and Median)
statistics such as the mean, median or mode which in various ways indicate the central point in a frequency distribution.
descriptive measures that indicate the center of a set of values, for example, mean, median, and mode.
Numbers which tend to cluster around the "middle" of a set of values. Three such numbers are mean, median, and mode.
Measures that indicate the midpoint or central value of a distribution. These measures include the mean, median, and mode. FOR EXAMPLE, one measure of central tendency of a group of high school students is the average (mean) age of the students.
Numbers which in some sense communicate the “center” or “middle” of a set of data. The mean (arithmetic average), median (middle number of a series arranged in order), and mode (most frequently occurring number of a series) of statistical data are all measures of central tendency.
A representative measure of a data set. The mean, median, and mode are the most common measures of central tendency.
A measure of central tendency is one which is supposed to describe some central feature of a set of scores, such as the mean, median, or mode. Note that each of these can be misleading and it is always wise to present a measure of the spread of scores, such as the standard deviation.
Index or summary numbers that describe the middle of a distribution. (See mean; median; mode)
