Measures of central tendency include:

Measures of central tendency are statistical measures that seek to identify the center point or typical value of a dataset. The mean, median, and mode are the primary measures of central tendency.

The mean is calculated by summing all the values in a dataset and dividing by the number of values, providing an average. The median is the middle value when the data is sorted in order, which is especially useful in skewed distributions where it provides a better representation of a typical value than the mean. The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the dataset, which can be particularly insightful in understanding the most common occurrence in the data.

Each of these measures gives a different perspective on the data's distribution, helping to summarize and interpret the information effectively. Understanding it as a collective framework allows researchers and statisticians to analyze and present data in a cohesive manner.
