MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY Measures of central tendency are also called because they describe values which stand for magnitudes near the center of the distribution or around which the other values tend to cluster. Examples: Mean, median and mode 8.2.1 The Arithmetic Mean This is commonly known as the average. An ordinary average is one which is obtained by simply adding all the values observed, then dividing he sum by the number of values added. WEIGHTED ARITHMETIC - Another type

12). Equal Interval - Numeric variable in which differences between values correspond to differences between values correspond to differences in the underlying thing being measured Ex. 45 - 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Ranked Order - Numeric variable in which values correspond to the relative position of things measured. Ex. Ranking of someone in a race (1st, 2nd, 3rd).

was 78 with a mean of 2.82, a median of 3.00 and a mode of 2.00. Table 1 illustrates this sample, including a standard deviation of 1.21 with the majority of responses on the negative side of the scale. This indicates that the average response was slightly negative concerning the level of training currently held by each employee.

distribution.For a skewed distribution, however, there is no "center" in the usual sense of the word. Be that as it may, several "typical value" metrics are often used for skewed distributions. The first metric is the mode of the distribution.

As a second choice, one could conceptually argue that the mean (the point
