How Good Are You In Measures Of Central Tendency Math?
Also known as measures of central location, 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 of data. Well known measures of central tendency are the Mean, the Median, and Mode. Do you think you master the rules of this portion of Mathematics? If yes, try our quiz and find out.
