Measures of central tendency are fundamental statistical tools used to summarize a set of data by identifying the central point within that set. The mode refers to the value that appears most frequently in a data set, providing insight into the most common occurrence.
Also the arithmetic measure is calculated for frequency series and grouped data
It is achieved as follows: X= X1+X2+X3+X4+X5...+Xnn/ (number of series elements)
It is calculated by adding the values of the series where the average is obtained and dividing the result by the number of data that are the sum
Central trend measure that an ordinary person has in mind and is represented with an X
Also known as average
measurement
Count to know if there is an even or odd number of values
torque: average of core values
Odd: median is central value
The position of the median is formulated: (n+1)/2 value is obtained by finding the position of the median
Classifies values from highest to lowest or vice versa
Divides a set of ordered values into two equal groups
Half of the numbers will have values that are lower than the median and the other half will reach higher values and is represented by the letters MD
Is the mean value of a data stream
Other measures
Percentiles
Cuartiles
Deciies
It is a single value indicating the center of a series of numbers from which it is calculated
Typical or representative value of a data set
Measure or centralisation
Average
Hermonic mean
Hermonic mean of a series (/via) numers *¡, X2,X3....,Xn,.Defined as the recipient value of the arithmetic mean of the numbers
The geometric median
The geometric mean (Mg) is used in the calculation of averages of variation rates and in the elavoration of the numerous indices
Mode
Mode for simple and frequency series
Find the value that most times are repeated in the series and without making any calculation or formula
Mode: classes and frequencies
It looks for the value that is repeated and the greatest number of times, only that they are grouped in classes and it is used this means that continues the mode
Mesure of central tendency: Value most frequently repeated in a set of scores represented by MO
¿When and how should we use the average of the measure?
In the use of the median two situations can occur
If the sample size is an even number, then the median will be the average value between the two data dividing the series
If the sample size is an odd number, the median would be the one that separates in equal parts to the series, to obtain this data the formula is the following: (n+1)/2
When using the median, the existence of two extreme data does not affect the final result
For example ¿What if there were two people with weights over 100 kilos? In this case the average would increase substantially and the consequences derived from this analysis could be erroneous
If the data are fairly homogeneous ( as is the weight analysis), the average is used
The answer will have to do with the data collected
