What are Measures of Central Tendency?
In statistics, a measure of central tendency is a single value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the central position within that set. The three main measures are Mean, Median, and Mode.
-
Mean (The Average): Calculated by adding all numbers together and dividing by the total count.
-
Median (The Middle): The middle number in a sorted list. If there's an even count, it's the average of the two middle numbers.
-
Mode (Most Frequent): The value that appears most often in the data set. A set can have one mode, multiple modes (multi-modal), or no mode.
When to use what?
-
Mean
Best for symmetric data without extreme outliers (like height or exam scores). -
Median
Best for skewed data or when outliers exist (like household income or house prices). -
Mode
Best for categorical data or finding the most "popular" item in a list.
Frequently Asked Questions
If every number in your set appears only once, there is no mode. Our
calculator will correctly identify this state.
When you have an even number of data points (e.g., 4 or 10), there is no
single "middle" number. We take the two middle numbers and calculate their
average to find the median.
Yes! If two or more numbers tie for the highest frequency, the data set is
multi-modal. For example, in {1, 1, 2, 2, 3}, both 1 and 2 are modes
(bi-modal).
